This book seems to be exactly as described, and is perfect for UK Scrabble words. Bear in mind that this is not a comprehensive dictionary in so far as only words upto nine letters are included, and the descriptions are short. However it is great for Scrabble, and crucially includes all variations of a word such as plural, different tense etc. Fully worth the money!
has all those unusual words you only use in Scrabble January 21, 2008

For years I would judge a dictionary on it's quality by whether it had the words qat, zex, and jow in it, which of course none of them do, unless you pay an arm and a leg and get a dictionary that weighs an absolute tonne! Then I discovered this handy little volume which has all those strange scrabble words, a brief description (usually one word description), and my search was over. This dictionary is marvelous. Definately a must for anyone wanting to improve their game, or to silence those challenges over dubious looking words.

This book is brilliant for all families that enjoy casual word games.
It is comprehensive and authoritative, so it contains all the words that should be allowed in a word game, but aren't in grandma's 1963 edition of the Concise Oxford dictionary that you keep next to Delia on the bookshelf.
Due to it's very brief format and small print, it's small and light. You can take it on holiday with you.
Because it's a dictionary with definitions rather than just a word-list, you can learn what the words mean, which is a great aid to learning.
It can be used for all word games such as Boggle, Upwords etc. not just Scrabble.
Highly recommended
