Arithmetic Shortcuts For Declarer
by Jeff Rubens
List Price: $23.95 Price: $17.72 You Save: $6.23 (26%)
This book takes a lighthearted approach to tackling challenging problems, and demystifies bridge mathematics for the practical player. After mastering the basic techniques for declarer, bridge players improve by applying those procedures more effectively. The most common question among those who study declarer's craft is: "How do I calculate the odds?" Even highly experienced players sometimes struggle with reevaluating chances, restricted choice, and drawing inferences from cards played by the opponents. This book demystifies bridge mathematics and puts it in its proper place. Basic ideas point to preferred lines of play, but complicated and exact calculations are downplayed. Practical players will learn how to win through the use of "shortcuts," while those intrigued by the theory will find useful tools. The book's lighthearted approach emphasizes that the effort to find the best move should never be allowed to interfere with having fun. "Jeff Rubens has produced a magnum opus... Anyone wanting to improve should read it..." --The New York Times

 | Focus on Bidding
by Danny Roth
List Price: $18.00 Price: $7.92 You Save: $10.08 (56%)
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

List Price: $15.00 Price: $8.40 You Save: $6.60 (44%)
For most intermediate bridge players, declarer play is both fascinating and challenging, but too often they are left after a hand is over with the sinking feeling that they could have done better. In this book, acclaimed British author Danny Roth takes his readers through the most common causes of errors on play: mishandling communications, making errors involving trumps, failing to take advantage of all possible chances, and many more. He explains how to recognize the danger signals, and how to avoid the pitfalls. The situations he describes are encountered every day; careful study of the examples in this book will make the reader a better card player, and improved scores will certainly follow.

 | Misplay These Hands With Me
by Mark Horton
List Price: $19.00 Price: $12.54 You Save: $6.46 (34%)
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. In this wry homage to the master, Horton leads the reader through a plausibly logical line of play on each instructive deal, but one that ends in failure. In each post-mortem, the 'expert' realizes how he could have improved on his play, and (usually) have made his contract. 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.

Pastiches and Parodies
by Phillip & Robert King
List Price: $16.00 Price: $8.96 You Save: $7.04 (44%)
This is the fifth book in the entertaining series of bridge novellas based on the writings of famous authors. The Fall of Freddie Haversham is a parody of the writing of Somerset Maugham. Play it Again, Slam breaks new ground by being based on a film - Casablanca. Finally The Bridge of Spies is an original story in the style of the best crime and gangster writers. * The authors have selected the hands both for their bridge instruction and for their entertainment value and both bridge players and lovers of English literature will be enthralled as the plot unfolds. * The authors' previous works have received glowing tributes, particularly in The New York Times. Alan Truscott wrote, "Each year it is possible to rank bridge books in two ways, by the quality of the deals and by entertainment. This year, for the first time for...almost half a century the same book tops both lists."

by Terence Reese
List Price: $21.95 Price: $17.56 You Save: $4.39 (20%)
In 1965, the bridge world was rocked by an accusation of cheating at the world championships in Buenos Aires.

Now, almost fifty years later, the true inside story can be told - the investigation, the accusation, and the very different results of the World Bridge Federation and British Bridge League inquiries. Terence Reese, arguably in the 1960s the world's best player as well as its best writer on the game, was effectively finished in international bridge after Buenos Aires. This book, long out of print and now updated, was written in his own defense against the Buenos Aires cheating allegations.
