Not what’s advertised
This crime novel was advertised as a a collection of cards so all you have to do is put them in order. But this came as a book with cover and scissor marks on the page. I’m not cutting all 100 pages, too much of a hassle.

Even more difficult than when originally publihed
Lovers of cryptic crosswords owe a lot to Torquemada, who laid the groundwork for the modern version. Ximenean rules on clueing were yet to come - so we have a great many 'unfair' clues, which may not contain both a definition and a cryptic indication, may be a quotation (often very obscure), and may have a topical allusion lost on a modern solver. In particular, the setter felt no obligation to encourage successful solving. Some ideas are still used occasionally such as narrative cluing and 'knock knock' clues, but clues such as indirect anagrams and vague definitions are now frowned on. We are given the year of original appearance - but some clues need the precise date to solve readily. The vocabulary is often obscure, but so it should be. It's more fun to attempt these using only reference books, but solving any puzzle completely will take a very long time for most of us (so you get your money's worth) as the first pass through the clues will usually result in only one or two solutions. A wonderful collection for the enthusiast.

It's not an easy puzzle
It's just a book. It's what's printed in it that matters. The puzzle is very interesting. It might take me a couple of months to solve if I'm being honest
