Hi Matttrom,

I think I must have 26a wrong, then My word starts with T, ends in R and the middle 2 or 3 letters form no word in any order (except 2 form a Greek letter)?

Got it, thanks Mattrom.

I'm ashamed to say I stopped scrolling after the 5th definition, assuming they were all going to be abbr. for the letter P - that'll teach me:-(

Thanks, Mattrom! I often don't bother with parsing, but was trying to come up with something for Brendan.

The (free) online version doesn't have the meaning of the other word, but it's in my printed one.

Brendan,

The column doesn't provide the title as such, but a well-known phrase - I think many of us would have to think to connect it with the book.

The relevant 'someone' takes up almost a whole row...

Sorry Malone, all the letters are blurring in to one. I've gone through each row - 1 letter at a time, then 2 letters etc. and get nothing. I've put The Woodshed in to Google but get a million guesthouses, lumber companies, art courses - you name it! Anything but a film or book:-(

Brendan, if you Google 'saw in...' you should get the relevant information.

The bottom row, bar its end letters, has the 'someone'.
