Millard Hopper's "Win at Checkers" is a good book if not a great one. There are far more useful books for the rank beginner. As one of those rank beginners I consulted an excellent resource, Mr. Bob Newell of Checker Maven, who suggested the other books listed here. I have since devoured the four books and rank them in order from most to least useful and also in the order they should be read.Best to least:"Starting Out in Checkers" by Richard Pask"Checkers Made Easy" by Arthur Reisman"How to Win at Checkers" by Fred Reinfeld"Win at Checkers" by Millard HopperOrder to be read:"Checkers Made Easy" by Arthur Reisman"Starting Out in Checkers" by Richard Pask"How to Win at Checkers" by Fred Reinfeld"Win at Checkers" by Millard HopperThis is not to say that "Win at Checkers" is without merit, but for the beginner Mr. Hopper's approach is neither as methodical nor as comprehensive as the others. In these respects, Richard Pask's book excels and that's why I rank it first. Good work, Mr. Pask! Unfortunately, you may have a difficult time finding a new copy at a reasonable price. It originally sold for $12.
