Magriel’s Backgammon - The Bible of Backgammon
Exactly 4 years ago, the new edition of Magriel’s Backgammon was published. The classic backgammon book was first published in 1976 and was regarded for years as the backgammon bible. Back then, it was the first book to introduce terms such checkers play and positional play in an easy to understand language. Generations of backgammon players have grew up on Magriel’s Backgammon and the legend continued to haunt backgammon players even when worn out copies of the books were rarely found in used book shops.
The new edition of the classic book, which was published in 2004 by Rose Press, put an end to these searches. On top of the original content, the 2004 edition of the book featured a prologue by Renée Magriel Roberts (half of the book authors and the former wife of the second half, Paul Magriel, also known as X-22) with fascinating inside stories on the 1970’s Las Vegas backgammon scene.
