"A new book about crosswords? From one of the Guardian's setters? And one of the setters who has set across the board, edited other series to boot, and brought fresh faces into the game? It's true. Maskarade, AKA Tom Johnson, has published All Squared. I hereby recommend it and direct you here to learn how to order a copy for yourself and another for a loved one's beloved Christmas present."
"The audacity award is Jacob_Busby's for the lengthy One who calls Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, Lester Bangs and Penelope Pitstop back, albeit briefly and wouldn't she have enhanced song? The runners-up are Montano's ingenious STEM subjects: Technology, IT, Physics and Engineering, to start with and Newlaplandes's elegant Singer's backing contribution to keep it simple; the winner is the splendid Band losing religion's lead?"
Maskarade (Tom Johnson) has published the crossword book All Squared and copies are recommended as Christmas presents. September's Genius featured underlined instructions: Solutions should be fitted into the grid jigsaw-wise, wherever they will go, with bold used where underlining cannot be shown. Puzzles included words reminiscent of Araucaria's style, a Soup clue with altered meaning, and an unusual jigsaw containing eleven 15-letter entries. Some jigsaw pieces fit alongside one another in long columns and rows, creating a distinct challenge credited to Odo. Thanks are given for STIPE clues, with awards named and readers invited to leave entries for ALL SQUARE and favourite clues or puzzles.
