In Response To: Which book by Chris Bray should I buy? (Timothy Chow)

Let me offer a mildly biased view! Two of my books are for beginners, "Backgammon for Dummies" and "Backgammon to Win". I wouldn't expect readers of this site to require either except as presents for friends or colleagues. Please note that a revised and updated version of "BG to Win" will be published in about four weeks time.

My other four books are mainly anthologies of my newspaper column articles for "The Indepemdent" in the UK . The column recently celebrated its 18th birthday so has definitely come of age. It is written for a relatively broad audience so combines.instruction at different levels with reviews, tournament analysis, occasional pieces of history and pure whimsy. An imaginary cast of characters (just possibly based on some real life characters) do battle in the chouette. Wanting to give the chouette a touch of class the Dowgager Duchess joined the cast a few years ago and has been very popular.

The three 'wind' books (in chronological order): What Colour is the Wind?"; "Second Wind" and "Wind Assisted" each cover a number of years of the column.

I would start with "WA" and work backwards. "WA" has the advantage that for the first time I published full rollout data for the more serious players to study.

The next book in the series, "The Wind of Change", will be published in early 2013.

All of my books except 'Dummies' can be obtained from www.lulu.com

Hope this helps.

Regards

Chris
