Excellent!: I had heard of game theory but had never been exposed to what it actually was or how games were viewed, setup or resolved. This book was part of a PhD Micro course and I found it very readable. We actually used two books, this one and the game theory section of MasColeel. The Mas book is very encyclopedic to me and dense reading. Gibbons' book gives the concepts and applictions in a straight-forward readable manner. Highly recommended, especially if you are new or somewhat new to game theory.
Game Theory for Applies Economists Review: Was the course book in a strong game theory class. It's a graduate class at the ISyE deparment at Georgia Tech. But, I didn't like the book that much; cause it's a little bit boring, beside it's got too little pages (round 200 only), and so, I doubt that it's the best game theory reference. However, I think it's a good start, especially for anyone who is trying to learn game theory on his/her own.
Elementary: Highly recommended for beginners and economist focus on application of game theory. Less technical, and enough intuition which turns out to be useful when people start to forming their own models.
Good Book: The book came in good shape, and it's a fairly straightforward read. I had no problems in the shipping of the book; it came on time and without flaws. The book was also definitely worth reading (though I had to for a class).
Easy to Read: Gibbons provides a lot of examples in a clear, easy-to-read format. Much less clunky than other introductory game theory texts!
