#4The leading introductory book is A. Dixit and S. Skeath, Games of Strategy, Norton, 2nd edition. It's a very good, easy read.

#5Essentials of Game Theory (Kevin Leyton-Brown, Yoav Shoham) is a good introduction to the mathematics -- enough to scare me away from going any deeper and made me appreciate why people get Nobel prizes in this field.
