Title: Good stories, can be distracting
Product review: Ken Binmore is an excellent story-teller. The book is an introduction to the mathematics of game theory with a wealth of examples that can distracting to a beginning student. Its weakest point is the discussion of equilibrium in mixed strategies in one breath with security strategies, which are the same concept only for zero-sum games but otherwise quite different. For streamlined mathematics and clarity, Roger Myerson's "Game Theory" is better. But every important concept of noncooperative games is there if you have the patience to sit back and read and enjoy.
