Discovering Backgammon

R.C. Bell      1975     48pp
Shire Publications ISBN:0852634749

This book is a reprinted version of an original work in 1930. Hence the introducton and rules sections are very dry adn a little hard to follow. The strategy section isnt too bad but definitely outdated with little mention of the cube. Bell describes several variants of backgammon which are interesting and gives some history, inforamation on making your own equipment and even some gambling tips. Overall, I would hvae to say that this book will do little to improve your game without a lot of effort. it does have some historical value and is not completely without merit.
