| Backgammon | Magriel | 9.6 | Considered the bible of backgammon. Authored by the legendary "X22" -- Paul Magriel. Still a classic more than 20 years later... Probably the first book most people should buy. Good for the beginner, intermediate, or advanced players. |
| New Ideas in Backgammon | Woolsey, Heinrich | 9.5 | Good book for intermediate and advanced backgammon players. Great info and tips on difficult positions as well as info about online backgammon sites. |
| 501 Essential Backgammon Problems | Robertie | 9.3 | A nicely-structured book which shows a variety of situations from the opening rolls to the end-game. Good for the beginner to advanced players. |
| 100 Backgammon Puzzles | Lamford | 9.0 | Another book in the fun and easy problem/puzzle format. Good for beginners to advanced players. Nice, compact size so you can bring your "backgammon tutor" around with you everywhere... |
| How Good Are You at Backgammon? | Tzannes | 8.3 | Perhaps not as comprehensive as some of the other quiz/puzzle format books -- but a fun way of determining your skill level. The book allows you to give yourself a grade. |
| Reno 1986 | Robertie | 8.2 | Two annotated matches by Robertie (Nack Ballard vs. Mike Senkiewicz; Ballard vs. Harrold Markowitz) in quiz format. The tournament in Reno/Tahoe, NV had a strong field; an interesting read. |
