What People are Saying About This

Brad Rutter

If there's a mnemonic device Rod Evans has missed, good luck finding it. There are more than a few in EGBDF that I'll be using next time Jeopardy!comes calling. (Brad Rutter, winner of Jeopardy! 2001's Tournament of Champions, the Million Dollar Masters Tournament, and the Ultimate Tournament of Champions)

Joel Wapnick

While Rod Evans's book will be valuable to introductory students in numerous disciplines, it will be particularly valuable as a model for inventing one's own mnemonics. (Joel Wapnick, 1999 World Scrabble Champion, 1998 Canadian National Scrabble Champion, 1983 U.S. National Scrabble Champion)
