It is often repeated that more than 50 million Americans do crossword puzzles on a regular basis. Skeptical of that claim, Dean Olsher does his own research and finds that the number is nearly dead-on. Filled with lively, original reporting, From Square One disputes the widely held belief that solving crosswords helps prevent Alzheimer's; in fact, the drive to fill in empty spaces is more likely a mental illness than a cure.

A thoughtful and moving book
Revisado: 04-30-11
Dean Olsher has produced a thoughtful and moving meditation on life, creativity and the crossword puzzle. It's astonishing how his supple mind is able to move from the concept of the puzzle to embrace a diversity of elements, everything from Scott Joplin, to Stephen Sondheim to love and marriage (one held together by the daily crossword). It's witty, surprising and heartfelt. Moreover, Olsher has artfully embroidered his subtle narration with sound and music. I love the bass clarinet!
