Although I don't play precision, I have read a number of books on the subject. I think Goren's book and C.C. Wei's first book are very good introduction to precision, but basic precision that they precisent is not necessarily more powerful than any scientific approach (against good prepared opponents). I have played against many expert precision players, and all of them have adopted many variations on the basic precision (such as 1D showing as short as 1-card diamond suit ...). For the serious tournament bridge player, I would recommend Ron Anderson's "Matchpoint Precision". Any intermediate player should be able to understand it thoroughly. The two reasons I do not play precision are : (1) To make it a truly better system than Eastern Scientific, it requires a lot of partnership agreements and memorization. (2) Al Roth once said Precision is good, but it takes all the imagination out of bidding. I agree. Kai-Fu Lee kfl@cmu-cs-speech2.arpa
