"Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you" – Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

Dear Friends,

Books. Based on subscriber mail, I find that many crossword enthusiasts came to the game via their love for books. Not a novel concept, but it speaks volumes about about our personalities. I'm a beneficiary of this cross-pollination because subscribers often write in with book suggestions, many of which I have devoured and enjoyed. Thank you for being so beautifully omnilegent.

Welcome to Week 659 of Crossword Nation. We bibliomaniacally invite you to solve "Book Smart" as your challenge of the week.

Thank you for subscribing to our little shop of puzzles. If you enjoy this crossword, please give it a good rating on Amy Reynaldo's site. Your ratings help us stay strong and independent! 

Cruciverbally yours and with respect,

Liz
