This is a great "bathroom book;" read one or two tip each time you are in there. If you follow the tips in this book, you will end up on top much more often than on the losing end.

I read the tips on leading one night before a bridge tournament event. The next day I was on lead 20 plus times; in each case I made either the killing lead, or the least costly lead (we ended up 6th overall!).

I can think or no book that will help your game faster than this book.

One of the most useful Bridge books I have ever read. Full of useful advise for common situations, both bidding and play. Lots of practical tips packed into small space. highly recommended

This is an excellent book that tries to improve ALL aspects of your game. In bite-sized tips, your game is gradually taken to another level. I especially liked the sections on Declarer play and Defense, with the section on Opening Leads being the best feature of the book. As most players know "Lead Trumps when in doubt" is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. However, I was not sure when I SHOULD lead trumps. The feature of this book in my opinion is clearly laying out when trumps should be lead.

These tips include most of the basics like Third Hand High, Rule of 11, as well as a lot more tips that are not as well known. The sequel to this book (50 More Tips ..), while also good, is not as useful for beginning players.

I'm an improving intermediate bridge player and I have enjoyed perusing this set of tips. Each is short enough to review quickly. The writing and examples are clear. Klinger includes a range of tips, including basics, bidding tips, declarer play tips, and defensive play tips. It will be too complicated for beginners -- it assumes a reasonable level of basic bridge knowledge, and too simple for advanced players. All in all, I have enjoyed it and I know it has improved my play. I recommend it.
