Thinking Inside the Box: Adventures with Crosswords and the Puzzling People Who Can't Live Without Them by Adrienne Raphel

2.5

This book contains a number of interesting anecdotes and facts about crosswords. It also contains less interesting or barely related material. It also includes baffling and distracting footnotes.

What it lacks is a narrative to pull it all together. It all feels slapped together and incohesive.
