1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, 4 Nov 2006
By Phil Robertshaw (Wirral, England) - See all my reviews
This is far from being 'essential for all Scrabble players'. In fact, if you go to any Scrabble club or tournament armed with it, you'll get polite acknowledgement before being quietly taken aside and informed that despite being endorsed by Mattel, it's not used.

I realise that some only want a quick reference for playing Scrabble socially, but this is a very poor one to use and is best avoided.

2.0 out of 5 stars what the...?, 24 May 2007
This is a truly awful item.
It is certainly not a comprehensive list of allowed words and you get the impression that Collins GEM got the office junior to knock it out in the coffee break! Word entries are mixed together in some cases.
Would recommend you just buy a normal dictionary.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another embarrassingly poor Collins Scrabble book, 2 Jan 2008
On the face of it a handy Gem-size Scrabble dictionary with definitions sounds like a good idea, especially for travelling Scrabble players but, prompted by comments in another review, I took a careful look at the content. There appears to have been very little lexicographical editorial control. A few examples:
Included letter names: AR EF; Excldued letter names: EM EN ES
Included Greek letters: ALPHA GAMMA CHI; Excluded Greek letters: BETA PHI
Included Interjections: AH HI OI UM - excluded interjections AW EH ER.
XI and XU are mentioned in an introduction but are not listed.. and so on.
The Chambers Family Dictionary is a much better book for family Scrabble.
