Please! A New Edition Is Needed!

Oh, if only this highly-useful book were to be revised and updated. As it is, though, it's still highly useful, and not just for doing crossword puzzles. Say you're having a senior moment and cannot for the life of you come up with the name of someone famous. All geezers know how frustrating and embarrassing that is. But with this handy book, you can look-up the person's first name, nickname, or the name of their spouse, and --bingo!-- you have the name. It's also useful in checking the spelling of difficult names ("Nietzsche" comes to mind), and there are also lists of US presidents, Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize winners, scientists and discoverers. In short, it's a valuable reference book to have.

Legends in Their Own Time

This is a must-have for crossword lovers. If updated to 2002, it would be of even more value. Has last names with occupation, other names used and even names of books or films made. There is also a dictionary in the back of the book with first names as the identifier.
