Re: Looking for a book on backgammon
[ QUOTE ]
I don't think Magriel's book is all that great, but maybe it's worth buying now that's it's in reprint. I like the newer books better because backgammon theory has evolved over the years and people don't play the same as they did in the 70's/

I strongly disagree
Magriels book is gold and as up to date as it was when it was written. A few positions might be a bit off, but the concepts and ideas still apply.
It's old but still standard, like TOP is for Poker.
