## Description

Buy Starting Out in Backgammon First ed. by Lamford, Paul (ISBN: 9781857442823) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Thoroughly recommend for beginners like myself - Played Back Gammon for many years in Dubai/Bahrain while on tour out there. It wasn`t until I read and continue to read Paul`s book I came realise the in depth meaning of the game. Thoroughly recommend for beginners like myself. I`ve been playing for five years now but never see myself as an expert - the game is amazing thanks to Paul`s book. Stu Harvey
Review: Great for beginners who want to learn Backgammon - I still consider myself a beginner when it comes to playing serious backgammon, this book goes over the basics in a no frills format that is easy to understand. You get clear diagrams and instructions to basic strategy that are relatively easy to understand though I think it would take time to incorporate them into your actual play. It's a very sound book for those, who like me, have fallen head over heels for this incredible game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ POINTS, BUT NOT RAILWAY POINTS!
*by R***H on 6 January 2017*

Haven't finished it yet, but it is a good, clear introduction. was expecting to play at Christmas at my nieces' but didn't transpire. However, may seek out a club here in Sheffield, if such a thing exists.
