Backgammon to Win

Excellent.

Good backgammon learning book, as ever, from Chris Bray

Excelent book for beginners ( and not so begginers). Covers multiple aspects of the game and gives you a complete idea of what is need to play serious backgammon.

Chris Bray is not just a very good backgammon player he is also an excellent writer. This is not a collection of problems, it is a discussion and analysis of the skills backgammon requires and a good primer on how to acquire those skills. It also presents the (relatively modest) gambling that backgammon can involve in a positive and exciting light and contains some fascinating (and in one case unbelievable) anecdotes.Highly recommended both for beginners and more experienced players.
