Book Reviews of The scrabble book
Book Review: A Scrabble Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book from my local library (I already have "Everything Scrabble") to see if I could learn anything new. Could I! Hinch has done a wonderful job giving the development and background of the Scrabble game while combining it with excellent advice on strategy and vocabulary building. While some of the advice and material is outdated (this book was published prior to the development of the official Scrabble Dictionary and when the Scrabble Association was still using Funk & Wagnall's as the official dictionary resource rather than Merriam-Webster's), Hinch has what I think are the best board illustrations of strategy and his chapter on variations of the Scrabble game (like Ecology Scrabble!) are worth the price of the book alone.
