Year: 1982, 1999

Book: Win at Euchre
Author: Thomas A. Gallagher
Rating: 2 out of 5 chickens
Complete Review: Click here

Overall: This book has some interesting content including a unique point system for evaluating your hand. However, it is also disorganized, complicated and way overpriced for what you get. It's worth reading but don't expect much.

Book: The Complete Win At Euchre

Overall euchre rating

This is a good book and should be part of everyone's euchre card strategy library. It is filled with basic rules, strategy tips, quizzes, euchre profiles and a list of interesting situational hands. With a bit better organization, more in-depth analysis and less superfluous information this could be an excellent book.
