Book Description

Publication Date: February 2010

This book was first published in 1959 and quickly became one of the classic textbooks for the playing of bridge. The original version has been out of print for some time and the book is now being republished in its first revision in 50 years. In its new modernised form, bridge players will find the ideas much more accessible, while handy end-of-chapter quizzes reinforce the concepts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love - Master of Squeezes, April 5, 2010

Easily the best written material I have encountered on squeeze plays. Love's discussion is both comprehensive and well organized. He divides squeezes into various helpful categories, starting from the most basic and moving on to the more advanced. The material is challenging because the squeeze play is itself intrinsically challenging. That is, there is no such thing as "Squeeze Play for Dummies". Dummies will never master the squeeze, but for the intelligent and serious player, this book is the best tutor available.

5.0 out of 5 stars An updated classic, April 4, 2010

Love's book on squeezes is a classic for any serious or some what serious bridge player. The updated book's text is easier to follow than the original. The bidding has also been updated as the original book had quite odd auctions at time (standard for the time is not so standard decades latter).

My only quibble concerning this copy versus the original is that the problems presented in this copy show all 4 hands so you have to cover East-West while you solve the problem to get the most out of it. But this was done, I think, to get many more problems in so there is a lot of great content in this book.

Reading this book will make you a better declarer!
