A curious book, as I associate books on games to Bridge or Chess, but I suppose I'm too narrow in outlook. Is there a book on three player-single-track "Ticket to Ride"? there is a history game's development, which involves the theory of the single tax on land, and strategy tips. Those who like the game will give this a read.

"The Monopoly Book and The Monopoly Companion cover largely the same territory, and as such aren't both necessary save for the serious fan of the game; The Monopoly Companion is more up-to-date, and therefore the better choice for the casual fan."
