A bright and cheery guide, carrying the reader through Bridge in all its varying stages, and finally landing him on the high road to success.
Although the treatise will be readily understood by beginners, the more advanced player will derive considerable pleasure and profit from a study of its contents.
The arrangement of the book is excellent, its advice sound and practicable, and attention to its precepts should qualify the reader as an expert in the game.
The chapters on Dummy, Cut Throat, Auction, Duplicate, Progressive, and Misery Bridge will also no doubt be widely appreciated, whilst the revised laws of the game are included in the volume.
