After reading this book I learned that the game of bridge was not nearly as intimidating as I had been led to believe all these years.

Mr. King's down to earth, logical explanations of how to play the game have been very helpful in my attempts to improve my bridge skills.

The book is well organized and easy to read. The exercises provided excellent examples & explanations of the different types of hands and how to play them & also explained why you play them a certain way - which was very helpful.

This book would be an excellent tool for beginners as well as those of you who want to improve your skills & techniques in playing bridge.

Thank you Mr. King for making sense of this game I thought was of a very complicated nature. You proved to me that it's not.

This book is useless for me, maybe I misunderstood the title or the introduction. I agree that the book can teach people to BEGIN bridge playing very well, but for me, an intermediate player, the contents on this book are all I had known.

I had once thought this book could teach a player to play bridge with the fundamental logic, to find the key point on every hand. But after reading this book, I found this was not what I expected. All contents are BASIC. All I had read from other bridge books.

Maybe someone could learn something form this book, but not me.

Simple Minded Bridge by Jim King, "King of Hearts" was easy and useful! I've been trying for years to get my husband to show an interest in bridge-with no luck. I set Jim King's book on the coffee table. The next thing, G is asking me questions on how to play bridge! Yippee!! Thanks, Jim, for not making bridge threatening and overwhelming!Cookie

What a great book that taught me to play a great game!

As a senior citizen I assumed bridge was just too complicated for me to learn at my age. Mr. King's easy directions and excellent examples helped to teach an "old dog new tricks".

I am now playing once a week and it has opened a new hobby that I am hooked on.

Thank you "King of Hearts"!
