Book Description

March 1999 Master Bridge
A good memory is vital in the game of bridge. This guide offers a technique for improving the memory. It describes two memory areas - the long-term memory and the short-term memory. It also covers mnemonics (easily-recalled phrases, catchwords and acronyms), which encourage the long-term memory.

This book is loaded with useful information for the slightly above average player but probably has to much jargon for the beginner.
You may not care for all the mnemonics i.e the momory "keys" but quite a few are very useful. Mnemonics are not always used by the author, sometimes only a catchy phase provides the memory aid.
In structuree - the situation is introduced in the heading. Usually a very condensed "condition" is presented. Next comes a tool and/or a memory aid to handle it. Each situation is quickly dealt with. Quite a few pages present more than one idea.
Obviously the problem or tool is not always fully explained, you may have to go to other sources for that. However, the tools just keep coming and coming. It's also a nice introduction to a few advanced concepts.
The best investment in a bride book that I ever made. A geat learning tool. It even has a table of contents and an index (far above many bridge books).

It seems to be a good book. I was surprised how expensive it was for a small book like that. I paid $45.00 for it from booksbylab I thought I was getting a text book for that price. But, instead it is a little small paper back
