All Squared by Tom Johnson
ALL SQUARED, a book about the crossword career of Tom Johnson, is now available from him, costing £12.99 + £5 P&P. Tom has compiled for the Spectator since 1981, he compiled puzzles for the first 640 issues of the Puzzler and has so far set all 330+ Generalist puzzles in Prospect, he was invited to take over compiling the Jumbo Bank Holiday crosswords from Araucaria in the Guardian and was one of the first four setters of the Polymath crosswords in the Financial Times. He is editor of the Spectator and New Statesman crossword series.
Tom covers his crossword story for ten different newspapers and periodicals and combines this story with a historical record of these crossword series -- Birmingham Mail Reader’s Crossword, Radio Times, Guardian and 1 Across, Spectator, The Puzzler, Prospect’s Generalist puzzle, Financial Times, The Cricketer, Scottish Island Explorer magazine and Daily Telegraph. Ninety of Tom’s puzzles are reprinted -- from each of the ten periodicals. Tom believes that no other crossword book has covered British crossword history in this way or to this extent.
