Strategy
One of the best places to start is Everything Scrabble: Third Edition, by Joe Edley. It’s been around for a while, but it’s a classic. The book is about how to play the game (i.e. tips and strategies), not about the game itself (although there are a few pages on the history of the game and the OSPD), so most of the book is about “strategy,” broadly defined.
Here are a few “strategy” links:
http://www.word-buff.com/scrabble-strategy.html - This is an interview with Andrew Fisher (author of How to Win at Scrabble, sometimes titled The Art of Scrabble).
http://www.freewebs.com/portlandscrabbleclub/tipstricks.htm - Tips from the Portland Scrabble Club (not a bad compilation).
http://www.tucsonscrabble.com/newplayers.html - From the Tucson Scrabble Club. Some pretty good advice in the “Improve Your Game” section of the page.
http://wolfberg.net/scrabble/beginners/ - Some good generic advice for folks that are new to competitive Scrabble.
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeskktx/id12.html - A Scrabble lesson for Newbies courtesy of the Manhattan Scrabble Club.
I may, in the future, add a few more links and then attempt to distill all the good advice referenced above into a succint list of bullet points…
