This book addresses a sorely neglected aspect of beginning bridge books. It lays out defensive principles in a logical, easy to follow manner, geared toward the beginning player. The description of holding honor cards to cover cards in dummy is well explained, and is a subject that even some more advanced players don't fully understand.

This book was recommended by our bridge teacher as a MUST for learning bridge. It is easy to follow and allows for teasting as you go along. It makes the rules concise, complete and simple.

This book, together with his "Introduction to Declarer's Play" makes a good introduction to Bridge Playing.

The Bridge begginers, struggling with the bidding system, often forget that the bidding is only the first part of Bridge board. The second one, equally important, and sometimes even more hard to learn and perform correctly.

Although this book is 20 years old, it is still very nice first step in bridge playing.

I bought the book on the recommendation of my bridge instructor. I haven't finished studying it yet, but I feel that it will be a big help to me in my bridge playing. It is well written and easy to understand.
