Book First Edition
Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. This fine unmarked copy is bound in cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, tight, white, bright and square. The price clipped dust wrapper is in fine condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased charges will be quoted. In 1913 the crossword was invented in new York by a Liverpool jourmalist called Mr wynn. There were other word games invented before this, of course, such as the word squares from ancient Rome - but most stemmed from the Victorian era (Queen Victoria is reputed to have invented the acrostic) The book examines the curious roots of the crossword and its development through the 1920s when Mr Simon and Mr schuster built their publishing empire from the first crossword puzzle book to the development of the cryptic clue by the great puzzle compilers of the 1930s.
