3.0 out of 5 stars not as advertised, and not very current, December 30, 2008
By 
MMWW "NJrktect" (South Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bantam Crossword Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)
Bought this as a replacement for the 1979 edition my father has used for 25 years because he really liked it but it is falling apart... The Amazon preview shows the original 1979 copyright page and cover design.

However, what shipped is a recent reprint of that 1979 edition-- minus a few key sections (according to my father).

So not only is the content outdated, but subsequent reprintings have also apparently removed some useful sections!

Only recommended if you are desperate-- unless you can find a true 1979 edition and don't mind the outdated content!
