Gridlock: Crossword Puzzles and the Mad Geniuses Who Create Them
A quick but fairly fun and informative read, written from a true insider in the crossword-creator community. It's almost as if this book isn't for public consumption at times, because it's so inside-baseball (there's a lot of him chronicling his own fence-mending between factions, and at the end of the book, he makes a loud point of giving out the places in Brooklyn where a lonely and isolated Henry Hook hangs out, with the suggestion strongly implied that people should hunt him down and say hi), but if you're into crosswords, you'll find plenty in this book to dig.
