Inside How to Play Cribbage, you’ll discover everything you need to know to have fun with this fascinating game:

How to take the lead – and reply to your opponent’s lead
Tips for playing cribbage with 3 to 6 players
Originally invented in the 1600s, cribbage became very popular with sailors (especially in the mid-1900s). During World War II, American submarine crews on long voyages became avid cribbage players. Admiral Richard O’Kane was once dealt a perfect hand in a cribbage game – and his lucky cribbage board has been passed down by generations of submarine captains.
You can embrace the modern tradition of cribbage by learning the simple and compelling rules of the game. All you need to play is a friend (or a group of friends), a deck of cards, and a cribbage board (a board with 121 holes and pegs for each player).
With this easy-to-understand guidebook, you can quickly pick up the basics of the game, including pegging, counting, and “quick counting.” You’ll learn about the “perfect 29,” how to win with 121 points, and how to “skunk” your opponents. You’ll find out how to use the “crib” (the namesake of the game) to your advantage – both as the dealer and a non-dealer. This book even offers sneaky tactics for experienced players, such as using “muggins” to keep your opponents honest and earn more points!
When you read How to Play Cribbage, you’ll discover a special bonus chapter which describes Captain's Cribbage, a variant of 3-person cribbage. In three successive rounds, players take turns teaming up together and acting alone as the “captain.” This blend of teamwork and competition creates a fun and challenging twist on this classic game!

How to Play Cribbage
I just joined a league and very ill prepared. This book does not go into great depth but provides many good points for maximizing your hand and crib, as well as gaining play points.
Good starter book with one scoring clarification needed
Overall it was a good book and will help new players get started. There were some incorrect words throughout the book that should be corrected in editing.
The section that discusses flushes did not make clear that you can only score a flush in your playing hand if you hold four of the same suit to score four points and five points if the upturned card is the same suit. It also did not say in order to score a flush in the crib requires all five of the same suit, the cards in the hand and the upturned card, which will score five points.
