## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    great book
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2019*

I first read this book 35 years ago, it served me well, it was good to refresh.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Essential Backgammon book
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2012*

One of the best (in my opinion) Backgammon books. Helpful in that the answers show several variations and explains each variation's pros and cons. This was recommended to me by my Backgammon instructor 30+ years ago when I was first learning the game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    iconic book, now a bit dated
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 5, 2012*

We were all fascinated when this iconic backgammon tome came out 30 odd years ago.  Cooke seemed like a wizard with his complex intuition for the game.  Subjected to modern neural net computer analysis, some of the problems are now known to be wrong, but its still an interesting read.
