5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the advanced player
This book really helped me improve my skills. There are two really good sections on Doubling. A nice chapter on the back game. Other topics are duplication, flexibility, priming, slotting.

This book helps me win more games!

3.0 out of 5 stars Too wordy
I was expecting a little more than I got. The book is not reader friendly. A little more wordy than I thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you play online buy this book, March 20, 2006
This review is from: The Backgammon Handbook (Hardcover)
If you play online as I do you should read this book.
I've been playing online at http://www.play65.com/index.html?did=13610 and increased my ratings from 1400 to 1700.
the section about the doubling theory was the most importan one for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but expensive, April 9, 2008
This review is from: The Backgammon Handbook (Hardcover)
This is really a very useful book for beginners and intermediate players.
The only thing that hurts a bit is the steep price !

Another very good book for starters (but also advanced players) is Paul Lamfords "starting out in backgammon", which is moch cheaper !
