Another 52 Great Bridge Tips [Paperback]

David Bird (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2007

David Bird’s bestselling 52 Great Bridge Tips was based on the proven principle that knowledge is easiest to digest when it comes in bite-size morsels. Now he’s back with another feast of wisdom for players of all levels. A noted writer of fiction as well as a leading bridge authority, Bird uses his wit and narrative skill along with an encyclopedic knowledge of the game to explain such winning concepts as: “Hold on to the ace of trumps,” “Lead a low card on the first round,” and “Block the defenders’ suit.” Each of the tips is illustrated with a cleverly designed hand.

This review is from: Another 52 Great Bridge Tips (Paperback)

This is the third of a series of bridge tips from David Bird. Each of these books contain 52 "tips." Unlike many tips books, each tip has an expanded explanation and several examples. The tips are very practical and useful. Most tips are unique. I have not encountered them elsewhere. David Bird is a prolific and fabulous writer of bidge books. I recommend all of his books on bridge technique.
