	10 More Ways To Improve Your Bridge Master Bridge Series by David Bird Building on the previous 'Ten Ways' title, this book presents ten further ways to increase success at the bridge table. In the area of bidding, the Jacoby 2NT convention is described - the most popular way nowadays of showing a strong major-suit raise and investigating slam possibilities. When bidding slams, it is critical to identify the presence or otherwise of the six key cards (the four aces and the king-queen of trumps). Roman Key-card Blackwood allows you to do this. Two important variations (Kickback Blackwood and Exclusion Blackwood) are explained. The Lebensohl convention is covered also, both when partner's 1NT has been overcalled and when you are responding to a double of a weak-two bid. On defence, the important topic of disrupting declarer's communications is explained. The book will also show how you can become an 'awkward defender', the sort of player that no declarer likes to face. Finally, five important areas of declarer play are addressed: holding up in a suit contract, using the entries provided by the trump suit, how to block the defenders' suit at no-trumps, the various ways to avoid an adverse ruff or overruff and how to overcome a 4-1 trump break.

	Bridge Books In English 1886-2010 An Annotated Bibliography by Tim Bourke and John Sugden Interest in Bridge book collecting has steadily increased over the last decade or more, and relatively common older books, which the editors could formerly find several times a week on the shelves of secondhand bookshops, are now rarely seen. The switch to internet trading has been only partially responsible, but has had a number of unfortunate consequences, besides the excessive inflation of asking prices for many works. Chief amongst these is the inability to handle a book before buying. Even for sellers of the best repute, describing books for sale is a tedious business, and many resort to formularised descriptions of condition backed by their reputations. Collectors need to know what questions to ask, before bidding or purchase, and seeing an image of the item may not be enough. While the possibility of return for refund offers partial protection, it does not cover the increasingly significant postage or shipping costs. This work provides the information. In 1905 and again in 1913 Jessel published works on Card Games and Gaming, which partially concerned Bridge. They are a valuable source, but were not comprehensive nor totally accurate. Fast forward to 1975, and Parris produced a limited bibliography covering 553 works, published in the British Isles 1920-1969. For lack of precedent, a remarkable effort. He was followed in 1984 by Sachen in America with a Reference Guide including 605 books. Both these were annotated. And there the options end. Apart from the increasingly extensive lists of titles including in the ACBL's Encyclopedias, which are prepared by one of the editors of the present work, there has until now been no comprehensive source detailing what exists.

This book is a collection of deals that illustrate the difference between the expert player and the would-be expert.

	Canada's Bridge Warriors by Roy Hughes For more than 30 years, Toronto's Eric Murray and Sami Kehela could claim to be one of the best bridge pairs in the world. Indeed, at times they were probably the best pair in the world. In this book, for the first time, the full story of their bridge partnership is told - the story of a Canadian pair who overcame the odds to dominate North American bridge, but always to have the ultimate prize, a world championship, denied them by the invincible Italian Blue Team. This is a journey back to a different era in bridge, to the International Pairs trials of the 1960s, the legendary battles against the Italians, and the thrill of bringing Canada some of its most impressive results in world competition. Few bridge partnerships in history have lasted as long as this one, and even fewer can point to such a consistent record of success on the world stage. "You never beat Murray and Kehela: you were just temporarily ahead of them," --Bob Hamman, many-times world champion.	Item #1132 Price $ 23.95

	Clever Plays In The Trump Suit by David Bird An intermediate-level discussion of declarer play, this book focuses on the power of the trump suit. Its subjects include trump timing--should you draw all the defenders' trumps straight away, some of their trumps, or perhaps perform some other vital task first? -- and situations where you need to unblock in the trump suit or to put a defender on lead with a trump. The reader will learn how to make maximum use of the entries provided by the trump suit, and how to perform a trump safety play or a trump avoidance play. Two other important topics are how to make your contract against a bad trump break and how you can survive a forcing attack on the long-trump holding. Later chapters explain how to play contracts with fewer than eight trumps at your disposal, and also how to conjure extra tricks from the trump suit. Every couple of chapters or so, there is a 9-problem quiz section.	Item #1859 Price $ 19.95
	Clues from the Bidding by Julian Pottage Defenders invariably base their strategy on declarer's bidding. Yet so often declarers fail to return the compliment: they flail away without a thought of what the defenders have or have not done. Just one bid from an opponent may tip off declarer to the winning play - perhaps warning of a bad break or that a finesse is doomed. When the defenders have made several bids the declarer may be able to make spectacular double-dummy plays. The problems in this book all contains situations where an astute declarer can listen to the bidding, or lack of it, and derive information critical to the success of his contract. This book was originally published in 1990, and in this new edition is substantially revised and expanded.	Item #1137 Price $ 16.95

The story evokes the slow pace of life in a small rural town, and whether there even was a murder is part of the mystery. The game of bridge is closely interwoven with the lives of the people in Pemberton -- we meet the characters partly through bridge columns from the local paper, and in many cases, get to see how their personae at the bridge table differ from those in their everyday lives. The 'deadly endplay' of the title relates to a deal that comes up in a club game, and also refers to how the murder -- if it was a murder -- was committed.	Item #1788 Price $ 19.95

The book finishes with a chapter that looks at the signalling methods of eight world-class pairs, with examples of their methods in action. A book any player looking to improve their results will want to read.	Item #1757 Price $ 19.95

	Fall of the Cards by Donald Parson Problems of the type for which the author is infamous are limited in number, for they demand a combination of qualities not often found together. They should be problems rather than puzzles, instructive rather than baffling, presenting situations that arise in everyday play. They should be short and snappy, and answerable by a concise statement, preferably early in the game; for if delayed too long, variations in defense may lead to complications that destroy the problem. Above all, they should offer two schemes of play, one that may be plausible at first sight, and another that a deeper analysis proves to be the correct procedure. And if there is a big swing between the results of good technique and bad technique, so much the better, for there is nothing like punishment to emphasize a lesson for man and beast.

	Focus on Bidding by Danny Roth This is not a book about systems, nor is it a book about conventions (although I confess I shall attempt to persuade you to adopt one or two in the course of it). This is a book about bidding and the places in the auction that we (and I use the word advisedly) go wrong. I don't care whether you prefer to play a weak or a strong notrump, or eight-card majors, or the Purple Spotted Forcing Club. But I do care about how you decide when to bypass a major to bid one notrump, or what constitutes a decent opening bid, and why, and what sequences you regard as forcing. You see what I mean about 'bidding' as opposed to 'system'? - Danny Roth	Item #1508 Price $ 17.95

	Misplay These Hands With Me by Mark Horton The late Terence Reese, perhaps the greatest bridge writer of all time, introduce the 'over-the-shoulder' style of bridge writing in his classic Play These Hands with Me.

The deals are all from top-class events, which prove to be a remarkably fertile source of such material. A book filled with subtle humor and great bridge. A tounge-in-cheek homage to Reese's classic, only this time declarer always finds in the post-mortem that there was a better line of play. Entertaining and instructional.	Item #1282 Price $ 18.95

But, facing the facts of life and recognizing that it is not your fault, you are going to have to accommodate this failing and improve your defense. It's a hard part of the game; even in international competitions, the standard of defensive play is, to put it kindly, modest. Yes, you will get plenty of reports of brilliancies involving spectacular switches, deceptions, unblocks and discards of honors. But for every one of those, there are countless others in which the display would disgrace any beginners' class. I am going to assume that you are a regular club or tournament player who knows the basics of defense but who comes unstuck when it comes to situations where you have to work the hand out in detail. This book will help you to improve dramatically in this area.	Item #1194 Price $ 14.95

MacKinnon Undoubtedly the most unusual piece of bridge fiction ever published, Samurai Bridge takes the reader to a remote village in early 19th century Japan. At first, the characters may seem familiar - the heroic masterless samurai (a ronin), the evil town magistrate, the downtrodden peasants, the tea-house madam with a heart of gold, and so forth. But soon we realize that these people are different - they are all fanatical bridge players, and the climactic battle between the forces of good and evil will take place not in the dojo, but at the card table. There is plenty of swordplay and romance as the story moves along, interspersed with philosophical asides on the Zen of bridge and a fascinating account of bridge as played at the Imperial court. Sex, violence, mystery, and lots of bridge hands too, this is Seven Samurai as Charles Goren might have written it!

His second book, Moments of Truth at the Bridge Table further extended that idea. Now this third book makes the case that the best results, sometimes unexpectedly, come when you utilize both halves of your brain, the creative side (right) as well of the logical side (left).

Moments later, sobbing, with a Colt .32 pistol in hand, Myrtle fires four shots, killing her husband.

	The Game of Bridge by Terence Reese The purpose of this book is to provide a complete and objective account of how to become acquainted with the fascinating game of bridge.

	There Must Be A Way 52 Bridge Hands to Challenge your Play and Defense by Andrew Diosy Most bridge players pride themselves on their ability at post-mortem analysis -- figuring out what should happen on a given hand with best play and perfect defense. But sometimes it's not so easy. Andrew Diosy has collected 52 bridge hands, graded into increasing levels of difficulty, where the obvious answer is usually wrong. As you look further into each hand, you find that there are more layers of complexity, as each move by declarer or the defense has its counter-move. Which side will come out on top? Many of these hands will leave insomniac readers staring at the ceiling, desperately echoing the book's title: 'There must be a way...'.	Item #1231 Price $ 9.95
	Things Your Bridge Teacher Won't Tell You by Dan Romm Most bridge books ignore the fact that bridge is a game between opponents, simply teaching players how to strive for theoretical perfection in bidding and play. Dan Romm isn't interested in that - he's interested in winning, which is something he has done for more than forty years against the best players around. Romm also isn't very interested in tournaments - mostly he plays for money; he plays with and against world champions, and is a consistent winner. He treats bridge as a four-person competition, not as a one or two-person mathematical exercise. Psychology, deception, and misdirection are among a host of (legal!) tactics that the reader can learn to use himself, on the way to winning more often.	Item #1232 Price $ 16.95

This book is based on Jim Priebe's popular articles 'Visualization on Defense' which appeared in the ACBL Bulletin in early 2001.	Item #1233 Price $ 15.95
	Three Notrump in Depth by Augie Boehm Part I of this book will equip you with a variety of useful, easy-to-master bidding tools to help you and partner discover when to grab the 3NT brass ring, and, just as important, when to avoid it. Reaching good 3NT contracts doesn't confer an automatic bonus-there is that niggling rule about needing to make what you bid. So, Part II is dedicated to the play of 3NT. Since you are apt to defend 3NT twice as often as you declare (50% versus 25%), defensive counters are given full weight.	Item #1332 Price $ 13.95

There are also 113 examples which are drawn from several sources--the author's own experience, friends, books, submissions, creations and newspaper articles.
