Backgammon books

[hiski]

Played a couple of times Backgammon now and got instantly hooked. That game defenetly has more to give than i thought. At least very fun way to kill time.

It seems that there are relatively few books written about Backgammon which are worth of reading. Could anyone recommend a book with a more deep strategic kind of view to the game than those which just goes trough the basic rules, odds and strategies.

So, if you have read any good bg books put those reviews here now!

Try Backgammon for Serious Players by Bill Robertie. I found the book very instructional for an intermediate player. On the negative side, I was annoyed by the incredibly large amount of typos, from the "about the author" page througout the book, there is a typo or a diagram error almost on every 2-3 pages.

Its quite successful book of backgammon, I also have card games strategies and winning secrets, but never used too much, Still I am in loss.

Backgammen for dummies is always a great choice, I like the dummie books easy to understand. Hmm I might be a dummie LOL
