From the author's Preface to the Second Edition:
This new edition expands upon the previous information in several ways.
First, it adds a new section called "The First Tile" where I systematically walk you through the choices and decisions to be made when making your first play of the game.
Second, I added a few more stories to my favorite chapter of the book: Chapter 16 "The Three Doors (and other stories)." I believe even highly experienced players will learn a trick or two from reading them!
Third, I added a short section on the Mathematics of Dominoes. This is a subject that may not necessarily help you win games, but should tickle your brain and enlighten you about the complexities of Dominoes.
Finally, strictly for your amusement, there's a section on solitaires, riddles, and games using the domino tiles."
