Scrabble Word Guide books, 1950s, vintage ephemera

One price gets you both books shown. These Scrabble board game books could be used for gameplay reference or creatively repurposed into art projects, collages, or scrapbooks. One book is dated 1953, the other was reprinted in 1971. The older book is approx. 9 by 6 inches and is in poor shape with lots of wear; the pages are yellowed but still all there. The newer book is slightly smaller and is in good pre-owned condition with some writing on the exterior. Kids: before the internet, this is how players found all the accepted Scrabble game words. The book weight total is 11 ounces.
