Book Description

March 2002
Designed for those who have finished a beginner course and would like something easy to carry around for reference, this handy little book will fill a major gap in bridge literature. In a humorous, conversational style, it covers all the basics of Standard bidding as well as offering some ideas on play and defense. The book includes a scoring table and a useful glossary of technical bridge terms. Designed to fit in a purse or pocket, this book will be perfect for those times when you want to point to something and say "Look partner, it says here you should have done this!" and win your argument! This book is aimed at the same market as 'The Biggest Little Bridge Book in the World', which is published by a New York bridge club, and not readily available elsewhere. This guide is, however, much more comprehensive in its content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Bridge!, April 21, 2003
By 
Prasad Upasani (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Pocket Guide to Bridge (Spiral-bound)
This is a book that really lives up to its billing as a pocket-sized yet thorough introduction to bridge. The only beef with this book is that most of it is devoted to bidding, with a tiny portion at the end for play and defence. I expect the authors to issue a sequel on play and defense. That aside the material itself is outstanding and clear, and at a surprisingly good level of bridge for an introductory book. I would definitely recommend it as a handy reference for someone starting out in bridge.

This review is from: The Pocket Guide to Bridge (Spiral-bound)
I haven't played bridge for 23 years and needed a quick review I could take with me for reference. This is IT! I really like the point count guide to bidding and etc plus the small size. I had something similar that my Aunt loaned me and after she died it was lost. This replaces it.
