Acknowledgement
The publishers and editors of the Cross Word Puzzle Books wish to record the debt of all Cross Word fans to The New York World for its pioneer work in the field. Cross Word Puzzles have been run in the Sunday World for over twenty years and their present nation-wide vogue had its origin in and received its greatest impetus from the Puzzle Page of the Sunday World Magazine. The fifty cross word puzzles in this book are all entirely new and have never been printed before in any publication.
