Outstanding bridge players possess an unusual combination of qualities: a cryptographer's intellect, a burglar's nerve, and the rapacity of a starving shark. A touch of telepathy helps, too. Bridge is as addictively exciting to those who play as an adjunct to cocktails and conversation as to the beady eyed, full immersion tournament competitor.
Alan Truscott has recorded, influenced, and excelled in the world of bridge for half a century. He has been the bridge editor for The New York Times since 1964. He brings profound understanding, understated humor, and lucid prose to his analyses of the game's origins, bids, plays, and defenses in this erudite and entertaining deck of 48 Q&A cards. With a question on one side of each card and its answer on the other, Truscott's Bridge provides a challenging test of bridge knowledge for two or more; it is equally satisfying as a good, solitary read. Size: 3 1/4 x 4 inches.
