2.0 out of 5 stars Low-cost, but you get what you pay for., July 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Win at Backgammon (Paperback)
You will want much more than this book delivers. Look for Magriel's "Backgammon" as your introductory text.

This book is very good for beginning players.

It gives basic rules and strategy in an easy to read format.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Price is Right!, September 23, 2006
By 
This review is from: Win at Backgammon (Paperback)
For just under five bucks this is the perfect book for a very basic beginner. You will learn all of the rules and understand how to play in a very simple manner. I gave it four stars instead of five due to the fact that there is actually nothing whatsoever on the doubling cube in the book. The orignal text was written in 1942 when the doubling cube hadn't yet become part of the game. But for a newbie learning the doubling cube rules and effects on the game would probably be best after one has absorbed the concepts in this book.
