Acrostic puzzles lift word game fans beyond crosswords to the next level. Just dust off your memories of great writers and philosophers, and add today's movie stars and sports heroes. Each of the 40 puzzles features three simple steps, starting with treating the clues just like crosswords. Next, you fill in the empty boxes with words that complete a quote from the book. Fortunately, you can figure out answers you don't even know from the clues provided, so the more you play, the more informed you become! Finally, you read the first letters of the answers to read the author of the quote and its source. You'll have fun, even as you learn.

They look like crosswords, but don't be fooled. Acrostics, those two-tiered word games, provide double the fun. First figure out the answers to semantic clues as in a crossword. But, the challenge of these forty puzzles doesn't stop there. Use your answers to transform the empty grid into a literary passage. Definitions, answers, and quotes draw on your knowledge of classic masters like Tolstoy, Hemingway, and Poe and assess your pop culture prowess with references to Julia Roberts, Rawhide, and NHL Stanley Cup winners. Dust the cobwebs from your brain and find out how much you really know about music, history, geography, and even mythology. Break free from the standard word puzzle and tackle the twofold challenge of acrostics for an enlightening change of pace.

"It is the summer of 1854. Cholera has seized London with unprecedented intensity. A metropolis of more than 2 million people, London is just emerging as one of the first modern cities in the world. But lacking the infrastructure necessary to support its dense population - garbage removal, clean water, sewers - the city has become the perfect breeding ground for a terrifying disease that no one knows how to cure." "As their neighbors begin dying, two men are spurred to action: the Reverend Henry Whitehead, whose faith in a benevolent God is shaken by the seemingly random nature of the victims, and Dr. John Snow, whose ideas about contagion have been dismissed by the scientific community, but who is convinced that he knows how the disease is being transmitted. The Ghost Map chronicles the outbreak's spread and the desperate efforts to put an end to the epidemic - and solve the most pressing medical riddle of the age."--BOOK JACKET.
