lol if 2+2 don't publish it it's their own fold. Being offered to publish any Gus Hansen book and not doing it is like being offered a lot of $ from a guy on the street and not taking it. furthermore, GH will sureley provide high quality material and deep insight thoughts.

First off, we were not offered the book. We were sent a proposal from an agent, and these proposals usually go to lots of publishers at the same time. As for how good the book will be, I don't know. But Gus is certainly a terrific tournament player and a very smart person, so it could certainly be very good.

Why on earth do people beg for Gus Hansen to go with 2+2? This is creepy stuff. Makes 2+2 look like a religious cult.

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.

Don't think he'll have to worry about shifting copies if he carries on like he is in the ME.
