Nicholas, Grosvenor. Modern Backgammon. First Edition. 1928. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good minus condition—jacket has chips to the upper spine and lower front cover that are camouflaged by a facsimile underlay.

Billing itself as “the most modern book on the most ancient game,” this attractive book sought to appeal to the players of the game in “New York, Paris . . . and on the great trans-Atlantic liners.” Stylish yet straightforward, the book lays out the rules and the history of the game, various conservative and “sky’s the limit” strategies, and much more.
“While we may, and generally do, cherish with our other illusions ideas of superior skill and understanding, in the realm of backgammon the goddess of chance reigns supreme.”
