In Response To: Disagree with Stick's Book Review (Stick)

...Magriel's Backgammon... combined with Trice's Boot Camp are the first two books I recommend (in [that] order) to any newish player.

Did you steal this from me??

If anyone ever writes a better from-the-beginning intro book than Magriel it will have been a huge waste of time.
