Hardscrabble. I bought this book because it had the word Scrabble in it. I never actually got to read it, but it seems like an interesting lecture. I paid 37 American dollars( including the delivery). I`m planning to give it as a bonus, to anybody who purchases 10.000 yen worth Scrabble stuff from me.

Franklin Scrabble Companion (OSPD )

I bought this from America a few years ago. It still looks like new. It was by far my favourite "toy". You can also play games like unscrambling words, mystery word ( hangman) and even make your own word lists (patterns etc). I`m selling it for 3000 Japanese yen.

WSC 2009 Scrabble Board

                                       

This board was used at the World Scrabble Championship 2009 in Malaysia. I`m selling it for 10.000 Japanese yen.

World Championship Scrabble

This is the oldest book in my collection. I remember buying it from Ebay for 25 dollars. It was my best purchase, because that`s how I learnt my strategy. There are 24 analysed games from the World Scrabble Championship, so I could learn strategy from the best. I`m selling it for 1000 Japanese yen.

Word Builder (Bob Jackman)

Bob Jackman is a veteran Scrabble player from Australia (National Champion). When I bought this book from him, he told me that he made the list for people whose first language was not English. I remember buying from Hirai san four Scrabble booklets made by Bob Jackman, before winning my first Scrabble National Championship here in Japan. This book is a compilation of those booklets. I bought it last year for 30 dollars and selling it for 1000 yen.

Scrabble Puzzle Book ( Joe Edley)

Joe Edley won the American National Championship three times. Even though he doesn`t have the best word knowledge, his strategy is amazing. This is just one of his books. If you want to improve your game, this is a must have. I paid 17 American dollars (including the delivery). I`m selling it for 1000 yen.

Scrabble Dictionary (Family and Friends Edition)

This dictionary includes all the valid words in English, apart from the offensive words. I`ve added in pen some of the offensive words though. I bought this dictionary in Malaysia for 30 dollars. I`m planning to sell it for 1000 Japanese yen.

Official Scrabble Lists (Collins)

I bought this book when I was in Malaysia, for about 30 American dollars. It has all the Scrabble lists you can imagine. I`m selling it for 1000 Japanese yen.

Bob`s Bible 2010( Sowpods Edition)

I bought this book in December 2009 for 35 American dollars ( including the delivery). I`m selling it for 1000 Japanese yen. Bob`s Bible includes all the words from the new Collins dictionary and some interesting lists.

Palm TX

The Palm TX is like a mini computer. I mainly used it to look up Scrabble words and play Scrabble against the computer when I was traveling, but you can connect to the internet, read books etc. I paid 399 American dollars for it almost 3 years ago. It still looks like new. I`m hoping to get 10.000 Japanese yen for it.
