A fun book to take you further into the world of Scrabble. As more people are discovering Scrabble through family game nights and online applications like Facebook, this book helps improve your game and explains some of the background and history of Scrabble. It discusses rack balancing techniques and how to score those high point Bingos. (

This book gave me a complete understanding of how Scrabble can be played. It changed my game and made the playing of it even more enjoyable. The book helped me become aware of the two-letter words and how to increase my chances of using all the letters on my board in a single turn. It has since been updated. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

This is the most comprehensive book ever published about the SCRABBLE® game. (About this book)

It was the middle of the night, and I was certain my wife was asleep. (Introduction)

Ironically, the entire world has heard of the SCRABBLE® Brand Crossword game, but hardly anyone knows how it got here. (The History of Scrabble)

If you want to get serious about the SCRABBLE® game, sooner or later you are going to need The official SCRABBLE® Players Dictionary (OSPD).

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671042181, Paperback)

This book opens with an introduction to the game, follows up with instruction on advanced play, and ends with valuable information for those preparing for tournament-level competition. But there's far more to this tome than the how-to material. It's also a reference manual with such valuable information as a list of crucial but uncommon two-letter words (do you know what a "Li" is?) and a number of words that require a Q but no U. Exercise puzzles are included so you can practice what you learn.
