National Bookshop Day - 3

I didn't want Avid Reader, in West End, to feel left out - so I bought a book there also, in honour of National Bookshop Day.  I went there on the Monday after, and the staff told me that the day of it had been like Christmas Eve - that is good news for booksellers...
This was my purchase -
The author is also on Letters and Numbers, a show on the SBS.  I thought **I** was hooked on words - wow!!  The book is partly autobiographical, partly an easy-to-navigate route through the devious mind of a cryptic crossword deviser - great fun.
