Concerning solution manual: we discuss the issue with the publisher, and try to find the best way to do it (that will not require from the author another year of their life). From my experience, google translator is useful if all you need to understand is the general idea of the original piece; once you have to understand the nuances, it fails.

It looks great, and I am looking forward to the way it will revolutionize our M.Sc. game theory course here at Manchester. Thanks!

Beware it does not fall on your foot, though.
We have solutions to most of the exercises in Hebrew, in case this help. Together with the publisher we consider few ways to write and publish a solution manual. Any suggestion will be appreciated. In particular, if there is a volunteer to write such a solution manual, he or she or they are more than welcome to contact me.
By the way, typos (which were found by students at LSE, who used the book in the last few months) are posted on my webpage (http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~eilons/typos_english.pdf).

From now on I guess I cannot live without it:) Thank you for your effort on this book! By the way, is there any plan to publish the solution manual (if it exists)?

The inspiration to this cover is Aviad Heifetz’s beautiful cover (and book) on game theory and strategic thinking (http://books.google.co.il/books/about/%D7%97%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%91%D7%94_%D7%90%D7%A1%D7%98%D7%A8%D7%98%D7%92%D7%99%D7%AA_%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%AA_%D7%94.html?hl=iw&id=mbPfELOS3u0C). The publisher suggested several standard and boring covers with geometric shapes that could fit any other book. We insisted on a meaningful cover, so we did a google search and found several options. This painting by Van Leyden was one of them.

Congrats ! Long way since I first saw a couple of hebrew tex documents on your desktop.

Interesting cover… That player on the left looks like it just dawned on him that playing is pointless because the outcome is already determined by backward induction

I will ask when it will be available.
