Thanks for the link....looks like the Smart Edition has expired

[Bootlebarth]

Apart from the twists in the unclued lights and the baffling (to me) cryptic elements of 5dn and 37ac, quite a friendly puzzle from Doc.

[kayakamina]

I agree it was a friendly offering.

bootlebath I read-
5d Composer in HK (see Chambers)
37a Indian clerk spelled with an S cut off.

There were also two words not in Chambers .

[kayakamina]

What I meant was an alternative spelling of an Indian clerk with the tail cut off.

Many thanks, mintyman

Thanks MM for the link. Quite clever how it all fitted together!

[zita-green]

Completed the clued lights quickly but can't see the theme. A tiny hint would be most welcome.

[kayakamina]

Titles of novels.

They 'turn the pages' as the words can turn corners in the grid.
