Names Names Names (Paperback)


Hugh McEntire's book "Names Names Names" is a compilation of over 16,000 proper names arranged in alphabetical order. It's sole purpose is to assist crossword puzzle fans by providing the missing half of a proper name when the clue gives the other half. It also serves as spelling check. Most of these names were taken from actual puzzles worked by the author. "Names Names Names" didn't start out to be a book. The author became interested in crossword puzzles about 15 years ago. He started keeping notes on names that were not familiar to him. As the list grew, he put them into his computer where they could be sorted and edited. The list was intended only for his own use but when friends found out about them, they asked for copies for their use. That was when he decided to make the list available to everyone by publishing. Anyone who has worked a few crossword puzzles is aware of clues requiring a knowledge of proper names. You are some times given either the first or the last name and asked to fill in the other. You may recognize the name but not be sure of the spelling but often, you do not know the name at all. That is when the book is a godsend. It is a "must have" to complete those puzzles.
