Backgammon Books

[InfernoLL]

I just learned the rules to backgammon a few days ago, and I want to read some books so that I can learn the game quickly. I consider myself fairly intelligent so I wouldn't be afraid to start reading advanced material once I've got the basics, which I also need, because I've only played a few times with no idea of any strategy. I would just search amazon.com, but I've read a lot of conflicting reviews about books which may or may not have flawed analysis. Can anyone recomend good starting books or more advanced material on backgammon?
