[Sarah Foster]

Concise and clear, if you have an understanding of game theory's fundamentals and know what you want to accomplish with it this acts as a fantastic reference as well as a good tool to learn meaningful techniques.

[Darin]

This is an OK book. It deals strictly with the mathematics of game theory. That is, the book has lots of theorems and equations but there are few, if any, applications discussed.
