Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction by Colin F. Camerer is a foundational work in behavioral economics and experimental game theory that examines how people actually make strategic decisions rather than assuming that every player behaves as a perfectly rational decision-maker. Camerer combines mathematical game theory with psychological principles and evidence from hundreds of experiments to explain real-world strategic behavior, including reciprocity, limited strategic reasoning, mistakes, learning, trust, bargaining, and reputation. The Indian edition you referenced, published by New Age International, is a 572-page edition with ISBN 9788122431261.

The book examines important strategic interactions through topics such as dictator, ultimatum and trust games, mixed-strategy equilibrium, bargaining, dominance-solvable games, learning, coordination, signaling, and reputation. Camerer shows how emotions, limited foresight, expectations about other players, and experience can cause actual behavior to differ from the predictions of traditional game theory. Applications include bargaining, sports and poker bluffing, strikes, price competition, patent races, coordination problems, and the development of reputations for trustworthiness or ruthlessness.
