Media Reviews
From: Methodist Recorder - May 2008 After retirement as editor of the Baptist Times , John Capon undertook the compilation of the newspaper's weekly crossword and 80 of these have been brought together in Three down nine across, nicely timed for summertime travellers and holiday-makers. The puzzles have been adapted where necessary for a wider audience and the biblical clues are accompanied by specific references, using the first edition of the New International Version. There are also general knowledge questions and a couple of anagrams in each puzzle. Reviewed by Margaret Daniels
