Backgammon Books

A professor of mathematics, Magriel organizes the principles and strategies in a very logical manner. He writes in concise non-technical language, breaking down every aspect of backgammon so its easy to understand even when discussing advanced theories of the game.
The definitive backgammon book. Can turn a beginner to an expert. Well written, logically organized, with several examples and clear explanations. It is very complete, covering all aspects of the game. I particularly liked that it recommends to the beginner openings that generally lead to uncomplicated games and later (once the reader has become more experienced) switches to openings that lead to more involved game play. I have read several backgammon books, and this is by far the best. Definitely worth its price.
