No, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be very interested. I like crosswords when they give an intellectual challenge. Actually, Finnish is the promised language of crosswords, English doesn't work as effectively. For example English crosswords have a large majority of black squares whereas Finnish ones have them (hints are usually inside them, using both text and images) as minority, and the words are always at least four letters long.

I took a look inside that book - crosswords with Prog Rock themes, band by band - in the amazon page. The questions are awfully unimaginative and too easy for anyone who has knowledge on the bands in question (in the style of "Misplaced this", "Script for his Tear" etc).

No....but I like crosswords ,but I would prefer puzzles that were inclusive of all prog bands and not just one puzzle per band.

Oh wow. I like the idea of a Prog crossword book. I used to enjoy the puzzles in Mojo magazine that always had some prog entries. But I have to say this is ugg - o. It doesn't have to be high tech and professional to be good. I like lo-fi underground photocopy artwork when it's imaginitive and whacky. But this - this is just - bleh.
