Best BG book list

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

Beginner : Magriel's Backgammon. There are probably good, more recent, beginners books, but are they really better than it ?

Intermediate : Magriel's Backgammon. As a backup, Advanced Backgammon, mostly for the basic double reference positions. Maybe Woolsey's Encyclopedia would be better for this (I haven't read it).

Advanced : Boot Camp. Everybody else seem to put it in the intermediate category, but I think that most of the book is quite advanced, or at least introductions to quite advanced matters.

Open : Modern backgammon. As a backup, the last 2 (maybe 3) years of Inside Backgammon.

Top 100 : I'm not qualified to answer. Probably none. I don't think the difference between open tornament players (how many are there ? less than 1000 probably) and top 100 is related to their respective reading.
