By far the best book I have read on backgammon is simply called
"The Backgammon Book" and was written by Oswald Jacoby and John Crawford.
My copy was published by Pan Books in 1975 - and at least in Melbourne
is fairly easy to get 2nd Hand.
It is especially good for the beginner being simply written, but at
the same time giving a excellent introduction to strategy and statistics.
It also contains an good history of backgammon, and a complete set of rules
for both standard backgammon and variations like 'acey-deucy'
and chouette.
The authors are well qualified both Jacoby and Crawford won several
international backgammon tournaments - and Oswald Jacoby was on the
committee that first wrote down the rules of backgammon in 1931.
