This is a slow, but essential, read for almost anyone who wants to become a competitive bridge player. If you already are a life master and can flawlessly execute basic card play through more advanced end plays, you might not benefit much from this book. Similarly, if Bridge for Dummies seems to be all that you need, this probably is not the book for you. However, if you want to become a better card player -- this book has nothing to do with bidding -- and fall in between these two groups, this book provides soup-to-nuts coverage of the basics. As noted, it is a bit slow, although over time it reads a bit faster and is well worth the read. I have read most of the classic bridge books, and this is one of the ones that always will have a place on my shelf.
