Excerpt from the author's Preface:

In addition to everyday words and phrases (and the occasional vocabulary-builder), these puzzles contain a good sprinkling of entries to test your knowledge in subjects including music, cinema, television, geography, company/brand names, history, politics, the classics, literature, sports, pop culture, science, and others. Your familiarity with a few dozen words of languages you might have studied in school or picked up along the way will come in handy. Colloquialisms, slang, puns, and wordplay gimmicks will be found throughout.

The clues range from obvious to obscure, with the former appearing often enough to help you fill in around the latter. A question mark (?) following a clue is your tipoff that something tricky is going on.

Whether your goal is to have a little fun, while away some time, tackle a challenge, improve your vocabulary and knowledge, or get some mental exercise, I hope you find something within the covers of this book to fulfill your objectives.
