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

5.0

This is a wonderful read. I thought it would be a lovely whimsical history of crosswords with lovely stories woven in, and it was this but also so much more - I loved the commentary around *why* we do puzzles and the effect they have on people. The writing is stunning too. Highly recommend for a Sunday afternoon read.
