He better finish the project with Magriel. If that book would be half as good as "Backgammon", we would have a winner.

Sorry for the slight hijack, but is "Backgammon" worth reading if you're a total complete utter newbie novice wannabe?

It was the best book for about 20 years after it was published in 1978 and is still a good book. However, Backgammon theory has moved on considerably in the last 10 years mainly due to neural net based computer programs that can play to the standard of a top professional. I would look at books published after 2000.
