Confusing but loaded w/ information.......2007-09-24
This book is huge. It's the size of a large dictionary in soft cover.
I used the "A to Z Crossword Dictionary" for years & thought I'd try this since I was familiar with the author. It has phrases, the beginning of Phrases, the end of phrases, parts of words, and is confusing to look up anything since sub-titles can go on for pages! It's crazy and defeats the purpose of working (thinking) a crossword puzzle because one can look up the answer to just about any clue.
"A to Z" is the size of a normal paperback novel, easy to handle & doesn't give ALL the answers. My problem now is where to put this book that is the size of a large dictionary with a soft cover that won't last too long.
I don't recommend it.
bfk.......2007-07-13
The content is great - more than any other crossword dictionary I have seen, but the size is a little hard to work with.
About time.......2007-07-06
Fantastic! I love that it is a hard cover and a farely recent publishing. I had the NYT crossword dictionary but it was very outdated and I had the newest release!Plus it was paperback so it fell apart instantly with how often I used it. I had 6 separate pieces to go through by the end.
It also puts # of letters before each "answer" instead of a nonstop list like the NYT, which is fabulous.
It has it seems ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING you need to answer the NYT puzzles. It is almost too thorough, BUT I would not want it any other way.
I did not give it a five because it does not have the thumb spots that start each letter like a regular old Webster does. If one comes out soon with this extra I would buy another and I just bought this one a few months ago.
Review on Million Word Crossword Dictionary.......2007-06-27
The product arrived on time and in perfect condition. It is an invaluable resource for crossword puzzle addicts...contains a wealth of names, places, and other resources.
Best crossword helper ever made!.......2007-05-25
This is one of the best crossword dictionaries I have ever owned. It goes into a lot of detail. If I'm stumpped on a clue about an old movie or older actor I can get the million word crossword dictionary out and I will find it right away. The book even has singers, piano players, sports stars and I can on and on about what's in it but it would take up too much room! If I could give it more stars I would!
Book Description
Stan and Dan's MILLION WORD CROSSWORD DICTIONARY was hailed by New York Times crossword editor Will Shortz as "the largest, most up–to–date, and most useful" and praised by crossword editors from the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post Magazine, and the Wall Street Journal. With THE MILLION WORD CROSSWORD ANSWER BOOK, these noted crossword experts give puzzlers the next "million word" tool they need. This radically comprehensive word finder can be used by solvers when two or more letters of the answer are known. It is even easier to use than a crossword dictionary! The 1,000,000+ entries will consist of exhaustive lists of crossword answers from 3 to 7 letters, where 2 letters are specified. For example, seven–letter answers with H as a second letter and C as a sixth letter will include the words CHALICE and PHYSICS, the proper names EHRLICH and SHYLOCK, and the phrase THIN ICE.
The book's "base lexicon" is comprised of words and phrases from actual puzzles, representing about 88% of all crossword answers––unapproachable by any other reference book. Included will be slang terms and celebrity names, a making this book as topical and relevant to modern solvers as the authors' previous book.

The Magic of Bewitched trivia and more.......2006-08-08
This is a very involved book about Bewitched , even if you didn't know much about the show you do after reading this book.
I loved the recipes in the back, a great addition. Great to hear about the two Darrins and the story behind the departure of Dick York.
I'd love to see a follow up book!

Bewitched is The Best!.......2006-07-08
My mom and dad got me this book. They like the recipe section, and I like the trivia. I learned more about Mrs. Meyers, the author of the book. She is a Bewitched expert and used the same sources as some of the other Bewitched books. I can't wait to learn more about Bewitched and read more books by this author!

Customer Reviews:
a great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11.......1999-07-12
This is a great book for all Bewitched fans. Its packed with tons of info, and pictures.I love Bewitched so much, and think they should get more publicity.They are coming out with a new album at the end of the summer, and I am so gonna buy it!!!!! You should too. If you like this book, you should also buy Bewitched:The official book.
Amazon.com
Titania Hardie, the author of Hocus Pocus, proves again that a grimoire should be crafted with as much attention to beauty as to functionality. Bound in brushed red suede and illustrated with evocative photographs, Bewitched is as aesthetically pleasing as any work of art. Not to be overshadowed, however, are her equally beautiful spells. They encourage satisfaction with yourself, engender a positive attitude toward your future in love, and cultivate the best circumstances for finding, keeping, and nourishing love and romance--if you follow Hardie's admonition to keep your motives pure and your integrity intact (remember that everything returns to us threefold).

Take What You Need & Leave the Rest!.......2002-07-09
This is a book that is not, strictly speaking, politically correct, don't ya know. I don't care. I love it! It's whimsical, fun and clever. It's pretty (the hardcover edition has a red suede cover.) The witch who wrote it shares dozens of spells for the various aspects of love such as finding a lover, moving from flirtation to the next level, dealing with third parties, marriage, passion and long lasting relationships. The bright, beautiful and creative photographs that accompany each spell are inspiring. Love spells are very touchy business. Tampering with the free will of another is a huge NO-NO! Do not do it. A couple of these spells tippy-toe too close to tampering, so carefully use your own good judgment as in all things. I think this book is one of the best examples of the myriad uses of sympathetic magic and it offers some splendid ideas that can enable one's own creative juices to flow. It encourages concentration and creative visualization. It does use the word "enthrall" once in discussing a lover's attention which is perhaps a bad choice of words. Magic should NEVER EVER be used to enthrall anyone. It uses the term "white witchcraft" which I personally do not like, but all in all, the discussion of magical ideals and practices is quite sound in this book and even though I think it might have been devised to sell the trendy idea of "magical powers" and "love potions" to the uninitiated and uninformed masses, it does not change the fact that the author's demonstration of sympathetic magic is astute and very well illustrated in this book.
Seeing is believing!.......2000-08-04
I bought Hocus Pocus because i was curious and soon after I bought Bewitched. Just like any other I was a little sceptic but I've tried a few spells and if you put your (true!) heart in to it, it certainly is effective! The two spells I love most is the nailfilings spell, to test the strength of your lovers affection and what also worked for me was the three woven ribbons to strengthen the bond. If you make the magic and the spells your own, it will work for you!
Somewhat Letdown!.......2000-07-29
This book is beautiful, like all her others. The only thing it lacks is substance. The outside look cannot compensate for whats on the inside. I was somewhat disappointed with this book. Most spells were for couples that were already together, or spells that were already in previous books. Definitly nothing to write home about. There are a few useful things, but not worth buying the entire book. Find a friend that owns it, and a photo copier.
Wonderful, just like all the rest!.......2000-06-23
I own quite a few of Titania's books. Most are beautifully bound, like this one. This book offers a lot of insight along with alot of great spells that are easy to follow. The best thing I like is that most of the spells can be modified, so you don't necessarily have to worry about finding a certain ingredient. I have been very satisfied with this book and all of her others. Definitly something to add to your library.
Beautiful photographs, but lacking in some areas........2000-04-10
I picked it up, seeing as how the cover is so nice and the photos are beautiful. The only other love magick book I own is Love Magic by Laurie Cabot; and that remains my favourite love magick book simply because it packs in more information. Beautiful pictures do not make up for lack of substance.
Bewitched does certainly have its high points in terms of text; The color breathing section is new to me, and I believe self-love spells are always good to have on hand. The book is divided into six sections, the first being devoted to "attraction spells"; that is, attracting a nonspecific person who is right for you. Section 2, entitled "Two's Company", deals with "moving flirtations on into the realms of reality". These spells are somewhat drab, such as the manicure spell, which calls for mixing your nail filings into your sought-after lover's tea. Mmmm. Refreshing. ;)
"Three's a Crowd" offers solutions for when you cannot make up your mind between two lovers or when you cannot let go of a past relationship. These spells are practical and should help one out, if that is your predicament. If you are looking for a stronger commitment such as marriage, there are many spells to push it along; the next spell section deals with aphrodisiacs and potions for passion; and finally, the last chapter deals with keeping love fresh throughout a relationship.
Although Ms. Hardie covers a lot of ground in such a small book, I tend to get the impression that she rushed it a bit. Yes, most of the spells have some sort of nice-sounding authority to them, such as romany traditional spells, but none of them are really groundbreaking or offer any sort of substitution or personalization. If you really need a love spell and/or need to understand the ethics first, I would suggest buying Love Magic by Laurie Cabot or any book by Scott Cunningham, such as Earth Power. This book is wonderful if you already have a firm understanding of love magick, but I would not recommend it as a first book.

Worth It For Fans.......1998-01-15
This book contains a history of the show, full log of all 230+ episodes, interviews with cast members, writers etc, but it lacks somehow, and I really can't put my finger on exactly why. Still, it's a very good book for fans of the TV show.

The official book is a must for the true B*Witched fan ,such as myself. The book provides a delightfully fun yet informative insight about the girls, by the girls. The book doesn't take on the form of a stuffy autobiography, but rather takes on a fun narration of the story of the best group around. Simply said, a great book.
