Barlow Does It Again

Like the same author's other cribbage books, this one is written in a casual, reader-friendly style. The tips range from basic to very advanced, and each is explained with clear examples. It's hard to come up with new material on such a seemingly simple game, but this book has several strategy ideas I haven't seen in other books. And the tips that I'd seen before are expanded with new variations and sample hands. If I had to rank all the cribbage books out there, I'd put this one at the top for players who already know the basics.
