For beginners looking to improve their Bridge skills, there are much better books out there (see bellow). This book is just a hodge-podge of childish cartoons and rules to memorize. It does not teach you to think and it will not help you be a better player over the long run. Once you can play bridge it is much better to start getting specific books on the areas you want to improve.

For basic play and defense, nothing beats Kanter's Introduction books. For more advanced card play Mollo and Watson are the classics. Bill Root has a great set of Problem books and Kanter and Dorothy Truscott have great books on defense and play of the hand respectively. If you are pressed for cash, you can probably get buy with just Kanter's two volume set from Masterpoint Press (Modern Bridge Defense and Advanced Bridge Defense) and Dorothy Trustcott's Winning Declarer Play. But if you have the money you really should start with the Kanter's two "Introduction" books and follow up with Mollo; doing so will teach you to think at the table and will make tackling the more advanced books by Kanter and Truscott much easier.

If you need a book to help improve your bidding skills you should try the Dorothy Truscott's classic -- Bid Better Play Better. That book will teach you how experienced players think about bidding and will really take you game up a notch.

This book and it's predecessor are great for learning bridge! The humor and illustrations make it fun, and it covers all topics very clearly. I found these very easy to use and have recommended them to many people who have expressed an interest in learning bridge.
