In Response To: Best BG book list (Chuck Bower)

These are the books that I've read and re-read.

Beginner: I'd recommend Magriel's Backgammon to any beginner. It teaches how to think about the game. I'd tell them to read Bold Play vs Safe Play several times.

Intermediate: Trice's Boot Camp does a great job. I refer to it often.

Advanced+ (since I'm not qualified to distinguish): Robertie's Modern Backgammon and Woolsey's New Ideas are both excellent reads that stretch your thinking.
