I have removed V. But my problem is with the right hand column. I wanted the word ‘over’ but haven’t enough spaces. And I haven’t got all the 13=letters needed from the down clues to find the title of a book. I guess I have to give up. Thank you all.

Jogamel, don't give up now. Remember the bit about the vowels, and the number/total of the two columns is significant in its own way.

It’s worth persevering, Jogamel. Your V is correct; there are no repeated letters. The 13 letters may look like nonsense until you have all or most of them.

It was my typing exercise….I have all the letters minus some vowels in the right hand column

You should have a missing consonant too on the RHS, because it has already appeared earlier and therefore is not repeated?

Jogamel, glad you are almost there. I really enjoyed the recoding and highlighting, so I hope you find that bit fun.

Enjoying this, as Malone said pretty tough, but nearly filled grid. 24d is eluding me, a tip would be great.

As others have said, this is very difficult but very enjoyable - still a long way to go:-)

I'm sure what the answer is mattrom, thanks. And what the letter must be too, but not seeing the parsing at all! Too many words in the clue!
