Reviews

"A little gem." Gyles Brandreth "Scrabble, forage and fight for a copy. This is a wonderful, wonderful companion for all who get a kick from the manipulation of letters or words." Stephen Fry "Mark Nyman is among the best tournament SCRABBLE players in history. He was one of just a handful of prodigies in the 40-year history of international competition, winning tournaments while just a teenager. His skills and approach to the game have also distinguished him as a respected teacher and promoter of the game." John D. Williams Jr. Executive Director, National SCRABBLE Association 1987-2014 "Mark Nyman's Scrabble Secrets packs a ton of information in a compact space. It's an effective way to improve one's game in the shortest amount of time. Entertaining too!" Joel Wapnick, 1999 World Scrabble Championship Winner
