This is the third edition of a major publication. No other bridge book covers bidding and play in such comprehensive detail.
This book gives a full account of modern Acol and of the whole range of defensive and competitive bidding. It is suitable for players up to a high standard but will readily be understood by less experienced players as each topic starts with the fundamentals.
The play of the cards is covered in all important aspects, with an emphasis on mental approach and on principles of wide application. Deals are presented in a way that allows the reader to develop his thoughts and arrive at solutions. There are many hints of practical value that will stay in the mind.

For anyone with aspirations to become a good player this book is a must. Indeed anyone who doesn't learn from it is either a champion or a liar. Do yourself a favour and buy a copy, but guard it well. Too many of your friends will want to borrow it and you will never get it back - tell them to buy their own copy - ENGLISH BRIDGE
