5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book Yet, July 18, 2007

O. Guthrie (Walnut Creek CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bridge Basics 1: An Introduction (The Official Better Bridge Series) (Paperback)

I have studied with all four of Audrey Grant's previous series: the Club, Diamond, Heart and Spade books and I think, for basic information, Bridge Basics 1 is the best. It is not only easy to read but easy to understand. With her charts and practice lessons, one can learn a lot about bridge without ever taking a class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn to Play Bridge, November 12, 2007

Mary Lou Lawson "bridge teacher" (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bridge Basics 1: An Introduction (The Official Better Bridge Series) (Paperback)

As a bridge teacher, I use this book exclusively for my new students. Not only does it teach the basics, but involves the player in the play of the hand right from the start. If you want to learn the best card game in the world, reading this book is the right start.
