Thanks for the kind offer dja, I too feel trevor is having a jolly jape with you, sometimes his comments can be viewed as obnoxious, however, they are usually writings of his sharp wit.
Only a couple of books that are mentioned on here that I haven't got, which is the Bradfords & The Merriam-Webster dictionaries, and I have survived without them up to now so you don't need to bust a gut trying to rally round as I love doing the Joint Effort (it's the wordplay file that is a bit of a ball-ache at times). I only really use the Chambers and a Thesaurus for solving but have 8 books to hand when constructing clues for my crosswords. The Chambers dictionary £40, The Chambers Crossword Dictionary £30, Roget's Thesaurus £20, Webster's Reference Thesaurus £1.99p, Chambers Phrase file £6.99p, Hutchinsons Factfinder £15, Bloomsbury Anagram finder (This book's a God send)£12.99p, And a small crossword Dictionary for quick ref's that cost me about 50p. And I also have the internet at my fingertips.
Anyway, i've more or less finished the Triple Teaser now. Just popping out for some bits and pieces of shopping and will format it when I get back and stick it up on the forum later for anyone who fancies a go.
