recommends it for: people who think that fart is a bad word
what I like about this book? The censorship! its totally hilarious that they get away with expurgating 167 words from this book. After all, what if you are playing with your mother and one of THESE doozies pops up on your rack?

OK...I don't know why I'm adding this here. I must be getting punch drunk...time to go to bed. Anyway, thanks Karla for getting Lynette & I a copy of this to help settle the endless Scrabble disputes while playing. :-)

Again, a book I care around with me, just in case there is suddenly an impromtu game of Scrabble that might end in a squabble over a nonce word.

I have not read this book all the way through, as I'm not that fanatic a Scrabble player, but it is certainly a useful article.

Read in September, 2005
It's not so heavy on plot, but what richness of language!
