The initial letters, when read in a zig-zag manner, spell out a number of titles of a kind. One answer found in Chambers contains an accent. Answers to 6 clues are proper nouns that are not found in Chambers, The Puzzle once again includes homophone definitions; for example, an answer might be defined by ‘pair’; possible answers could include ‘COUPLE’, ‘AVOCADO’ and ‘SHAVE’. In total the Puzzle has 8 homophone definitions – Questions 1 to 5, 6 to 10, 11 – 15, etc., each contain one such definition.

Hello, Saintstim, assume the answers for question 1 begin with the following letters CAM, the grid NO 1 will read C A M.
Assume the answers for question 2 begin with the following letters T S U, the grid N0 2 will read T S U.
Now your grid Nos 1 and 2 would be read in zig-zag i.e: C A M U S T and so on and that could give you the French author CAMUS, and so you continue… Hope this is clear!
