Monkey Puzzles: The Ultimate Cryptic Crossword Collection by Britain's Greatest Compiler

Summary: ARAUCARIA IS THE BOMB
Review: This is the best of the best. Every puzzle is tough; clues are brilliant; anagrams are, mercifully, few. When you can finish one, you feel a real sense of accomplishment, when you can't, you've been beaten fair and square. Most puzzles have undefined themes, adding to the fun. This book is worth having even if you have to pay the bloody $12.00US delivery fee from AMAZON.UK.

That said, a couple of caveats:
1. A fair number of Britishisms
2. Some of these puzzles are decades old and the topical references may be obscure.
