Here's The Times Computer Crosswords vol. 1 by Akom Ltd.
Unfortunately, side B didn't work at all. I couldn't read anything off it. So half the crossword puzzles are missing.
[UPDATE: I've merged my copy with SIDE 2 of BillCarr's slightly older copy (see below) to create a Frankenstein DSD version of this title, combining the slightly newer UI from my copy with the crossword data files missing from my copy but present in BillCarr's copy (puzzles 30-56)! Download TIMESXF.dsd.zip, above. We're still missing the last four puzzles that should have been on side B of my flippy disc (which is unreadable): puzzles 57-60 are still MIA.]
I'll try to get someone with l33t disc skillz to have a look at the disc.
A scan of the manual is coming soon.
(Btw, on side A of the original flippy disc, the catalogue was full and there was no !BOOT, so I tinkered with the main loader program to turn it into a self-CHAINing !BOOT. Let me know of any problems.)
This title came on a 40-track flippy disc -- the sort you have to turn over to read side B. It has two index holes and two write-protect notches and everything. The Times Computer Crosswords vol. 1 by Akom

I have this - I'll dig out my copy when I can, so we can compare versions.

I've also got this. Was 80 track, but i've removed some of the empty space to make it 40 track. It already has a !BOOT and 28 puzzles per side.
