1976, mass market paperback reprint edition (of a work first published in 1970), Bantam, NY. 244 pages. One of those mind-blowing titles that offers an incredible amount of material. Here is everything about Backgammon, including its history, moves, probabilities, strategy, how to run a Backgammon tournament, laws of the game, variations of play, and--are you ready for this?--both etiquette and Backgammon stories. Truly amazing. Tons of plays illustrated.
