Hoping the knowledge base here can help... My father enjoys crosswords but has been finding it frustrating that he hasn't got a good reference to look up areas involving people such as film stars.

The reference book he has is the 5th edition (1990) of Chambers Biographical Dictionary. I know there is a 1997 edition of this book but there maybe several other books worth considering.

My attempts at searching Amazon yeilded around 900 results in the category I looked at - rather more than I wish to wade through.

Can anyone make any suggestions/ reccomendations.

Thanks,

Jon
