Very Wordy....4
The title says it all, "For Experts". If you just want to learn how to play, without all the technical terms, this book is not for you. There were 2 terms I was disappointed to have not seen. "Skunk" and "A skunk is 2 wins". I think every cribbage book should make that clear :)

Excellent5
At 96 pages, I wasn't expecting this to be so useful, but it doesn't waste pages explaining the rules and how to add up points. It assumes you already play cribbage, and concentrates on the area of the game in which the player has the most control, the play of the hand. If you want a book that does have the rules and basics, try Play Cribbage to Win by the same author, different publisher. And if you want to tackle really complex aspects of the game, try Winning Cribbage Tips and/or Miracles on 4th Street. They're all excellent.
