The Best of Board Wargaming is a book that was published as a follow-up to The Comprehensive Guide to Board Wargaming (1977).
[1] Steve Jackson reviewed The Best of Board Wargaming in The Space Gamer No.
[1] Jackson commented that "This one belongs in the library of the game club, collector, or serious designer.
As a reference work for the average gamer, fantasy/SF or otherwise, I couldn't recommend it.
Consumer Guide's Complete Book of Wargames [...] is bigger, better, and half the price.
