Howard Bergerson's book "Palindromes and Anagrams" is a great and inexpensive clasic on both fronts.

 

Hey, we've gotten some great news coverage for this event, such as The New York Times, the Times of London, and Time Magazine.

One of my favorite writers occasionally performed somersaults with the language that required encyclopedic erudition to fully get. He didn't care how much of what he'd throw out there the reader might get -- if you could see it, you were delighted, ticked off, or cracking up -- if you couldn't, the author was, at your expense. A palindrome or an anagram, in particular, were never announced when they appeared in the text. And those were just the most minor of his tricks. Sometimes he arranged the whole plot as a palindrome, not just a sentence.

 

One of the anagrams of his name was Vivian Darkbloom. Can you crack it?

LOL, this is legit! I tried a beer boil with crayfish, but not a vodka boil. Gotta ask Marvin how to make that. Unless Marvin Vodka is served boiled by itself, neat. Or Marvin is the name of whatever they boiled in vodka.

 

Of course an anagram is easier to assemble than to disassemble. To disassemble, one would have to go through all possible combinations -- which can be numerous.
