Why read it?

1 author picked Game Theory as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is an extremely rigorous and formal presentation of Game Theory concepts to Ph.D. students.

The coverage of signaling games, Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium, and equilibrium refinements is relatively brief compared to most other topics in the book, but the book is still great.
