Game Theory and Strategy ( New Mathematical Library Series, #36): By Philip D. Straffin
As random and unconventional as this book might appear, I have probably mentioned this book more times than any other book I've read about game theory. If you're looking for the extreme mathematics that you would expect in a traditional game theory text, you will be sorely mistaken. But for those of us who just want to think about how the logic of game theory can be applied to gain new insight on classic questions, I cannot recommend this book enough.
