 | Bridge Philosopher 3
by James S. Kauder
List Price: $22.00 Price: $19.36 You Save: $2.64 (12%)
He's back! That old curmudgeon, the Bridge Philosopher, is back for a third try at explaining the art of dummy play. He claims that he is losing his memory, but he hasn't lost his ability to reason or to analyze a bridge hand in an instant. And, as usual, he has cogent (often biting) comments to make about the sad state of affairs in the world at large: the rising cost of living; unfunded Social Security liabilities; dysfunctional political parties. He unashamedly (in fact, somewhat proudly) admits to personal weaknesses of one sort or another: diet; neatness; relationship issues; and all around dissatisfaction with the world. Learn a little; laugh a lot. He isn't the only one who isn't getting any younger. James S. Kauder is an expert bridge player and humorous author who explains his reasoning for adopting one line of play over another to improve the reader's skills. This book contains 60 new bridge hands, new stories, and a serious dose of his unique humor. If you're an avid bridge player and enjoy a great read, this is a great book for you.

You are making progress if you get a problem wrong the first time a theme appears, but spot it the next time it comes around.

 | Complete Book On Balancing In Contract Bridge
Revised Edition.
by Mike Lawrence
List Price: $22.95 Price: $19.74 You Save: $3.21 (14%)
Since it was first published, this has been the definitive book on the tough topic of balancing your bridge hand. It examines auctions where the opponents bid something and you are given the opportunity to either let them have it or to balance. This revised and expanded edition is updated to reflect modern bidding practices and covers almost any possible auction. The cost of not balancing can be huge, but you must weigh the cost of passing against the cost of bidding and getting a bad result. Lawrence's discussion of hand evaluation and planning a balancing auction goes beyond generic rules. Hundreds of examples will help you develop judgment. This is important reading for intermediate bridge players who wish to advance. No other bridge book provides as thorough a discussion of the topic.

 | Duplicate Bridge Schedules, History and Mathematics
by Ian MacKinnon
List Price: $75.00 Price: $56.92 You Save: $18.08 (24%)
The Bridge Movements Encyclopedia. This is an essential book for tournament directors as well as bridge players curious about the history of the game of duplicate bridge. This comprehensive volume supplies you with all the movements ever thought of and many hundreds of new ones. Included for each movement are the variations, modifications, origins, authors and history of its development. Each movement is then assessed for its measure of quality, called calibre. The author presents a brand new event type, the Scissor movement--run like any Howell movement. In this type of event the players play as pairs as usual, but also have their teammates as another pair, never meeting each other. This allows the event to be scored both as teams and pairs, producing a winning team and a winning pair. Duplicate bridge players will find the history of their favorite game most intriguing. The book delves into the lives of well-known figures such as John T. Mitchell and Edwin C. Howell. When did they live, what did they contribute to bridge, and what were the politics of their time? In addition, many lesser-known historical figures are examined for their contributions to the development of duplicate movements. For the mathematically inclined there are plenty of interesting oddities. The mathematics of balance of movements, giving the measure of quality, is thoroughly discussed. The controversial debate over movement quality, along with its history, is presented through the ideas and opinions of players and mathematicians.

 | Variable Keycard Blackwood
by Ken Rexford
List Price: $14.95 Price: $12.71 You Save: $2.24 (15%)
Roman Key Card Blackwood has dominated expert circles for the past half century, but it is not flawless. One obvious difficulty is sometimes not knowing whether the partnership is missing two aces or one ace and the trump king. Variable Key Card Blackwood may be the next logical step. VKCB allows partnerships to address many problems that Roman Key Card Blackwood does not solve, while keeping the auction low enough to avoid bad slams. And, better yet, it is relatively easy to use.

 | Clever Plays In The Trump Suit
by David Bird
List Price: $19.95 Price: $15.76 You Save: $4.19 (21%)
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.

 | Overcalling Opponent's 1NT
by Ken Rexford
List Price: $11.95 Price: $9.56 You Save: $2.39 (20%)
Author Ken Rexford has developed an intriguing new approach to overcalling 1NT openings that may revolutionize this area of bridge. If you are unhappy with Cappelletti, DONT, Brozel, and the like, this book introduces you to a new approach for tackling the opponent's 1NT opening, with an entirely new way to handle one- or two-suited hands. Can your current approach tell partner whether you have a strong or a weak overcall at the two-level? Can you tell partner which suit of your major-or-a-minor is longer? Can you identify the specific minor with your major, again at the two-level? All of these are possible using Ken Rexford's methods. Imagine describing more hands than the Woolsey defense handles, all with easy but novel methods that fit (unlike Woolsey) into the ACBL's General Convention Chart! * You can also use these methods to improve your response structure to your own openings and in other auctions. For example, after a Four-Diamond overcall of partner's Tw Clubs opening, you can bid any new suit as a natural one-suiter, use double as cooperative, and yet still have the room needed to describe any specific two-suiter, without bypassing the game level. Impossible? Not with this new technique. Can you show one or both minors and slam interest after a 2NT opening, and tell partner which specific minor you have, at the three-level? Yes, using Rexford's methods.

 | Really Unusual Notrump (R.U.N.T.)
by Ken Rexford
List Price: $11.95 Price: $9.56 You Save: $2.39 (20%)
Ken Rexford provides the first authoritative description of the R.U.N.T. Convention. R.U.N.T. is actually a two-way overcalling structure to distinguish a very sound takeout double from a weak three-suited takeout by way of an artificial 1NT overcall - preempting and intervening in the auction safely and effectively. * Do you find a 4-3-3-3 hand with three Jacks a reason to sleep, or is this as good a reason to bid as any? You know who you are. Do you secretly enjoy declaring Two Clubs doubled, trying to find a fifth trick before the opponents find their ninth trick, instead of defending a boring 3NT? If you find it amusing to interfere with as many auctions as possible, this book is for you. Rexford introduces you to this effective and proven two-way overcall structure. With more advanced versions of the convention, you can add a very strong option, making the 1NT overcall almost a Multi type of takeout. After all, bridge is supposed to be fun, right?

 | Defend Or Declare
72 Deals To Test Your Bridge Skill
by Julian Pottage
List Price: $17.95 Price: $13.82 You Save: $4.13 (23%)
How good an analyst are you? In 2003, Julian Pottage's Play or Defend won the IBPA Book of the Year award. Using an usual bridge problem format, it gave readers all four hands and challenged them to decide whether they wanted to play or defend. Almost ten years later, this sequel comprises 72 new problems, presented in the same fashion, and asking the same question: defend or declare? These are not double-dummy problems, however, in the normal sense. They are simply interesting deals of the kind that you might encounter in any club game, although perhaps a little more complex than most. Each solution is presented in two parts, allowing the reader to discover any errors in the first attempt, and then go back and rethink the deal in greater depth. Are you up for the challenge?

by Marshall Miles
List Price: $9.95 Price: $7.86 You Save: $2.09 (21%)

Some of the topics are somewhat controversial, and as always Marshall Miles urges his own, often original, point of view. You may not be persuaded by everything he recommends, but perhaps you adapt part of it, and it won't hurt you to discover how some other people play, even if you refuse to play that way yourself.

A Pemberton Bridge Club Mystery
by Ken Allan
List Price: $19.95 Price: $15.36 You Save: $4.59 (23%)
The members of the Pemberton Bridge Club, along with the wickedly funny Jay's Nest bridge columns, were first introduced in Ken Allen's debut novel, Deadly Endplay. This sequel addresses something worse, for the bridge players, than a mysterious death - the growing suspicion that someone in their midst is systematically cheating. When retired policeman Dan Cogan begins to investigate, he finds himself confronting such issues as: Is there a clear distinction between dubious ethics and cheating? Can you prove cheating from hand records? And if you can, what should the consequences be? Finally, why do people cheat at duplicate bridge, a game that offers no monetary rewards? There are no easy answers - only shades of grey.

Bridge partnerships can be fun. We all know that. Of course, they can also be difficult, maddening, disappointing, and frustrating. When the players of these partnerships are also spouses - well that's when things can get downright tricky. Kathleen Vishner shares with you the highs and lows of learning duplicate bridge while partnering with her ever-patient husband, Andy. Experience as she does the initial shock of a penalty double or the bewilderment at the sheer number of rules that can be unwittingly broken. For teachers - helpful "Hints" throughout the book will remind you of the beginner's mindset and suggest techniques to help students learn and become more comfortable with the game. Many illustrative bridge hands pinpoint typical areas of confusion and explain the reasoning behind the many misunderstandings of a less experienced player.

 | Simple Squeezes
Second revised edition
by Anthony Moon
List Price: $39.95 Price: $35.95 You Save: $4.00 (10%)
This is the first book in a series of eight on Bridge Squeezes and introduces the subject. It is aimed at experienced players who are ready to improve their playing ability and wish to understand more about these fascinating positions. Each position is shown as a diagram showing the cards remaining and how the position is played. There are then several examples taken from actual play, which are drawn from several sources--the author's own experience, friends, books and newspaper articles. These examples show how the basic position was reached and the preparation needed to achieve it. The key requirements for a squeeze are explained in simple terms and each type of threat encountered is described and named. The five fundamental attributes and requirements for a squeeze are developed and explained and their relevance in executing a simple squeeze is developed. There is also a chapter with basic advice on how to defend against squeezes; this complex subject is further developed in the later books in the series. This second edition describes 34 positions and includes 93 example deals. Simple squeezes are fairly common and represent approximately half of those encountered at the table.

 | Double Squeezes
by Anthony Moon
List Price: $49.95 Price: $44.95 You Save: $5.00 (10%)
This is the second book in a series on Bridge Squeezes and considers the positions where both defenders come under pressure. 80 positions are shown as diagrams showing the cards remains and how each position is played. There are also 198 examples which are drawn from several sources - the author's own experience, friends, books, submissions, creations and newspaper articles. These examples show how the basic position was reached and the preparation needed to achieve it. Many of the examples, mostly in the more complex positions, were composed by Tim Bourke and sent to the author for inclusion in the book. * It is widely believed that squeeze play is the reserve of experts and to some extent that is true but the author explains the basic concepts simply so that any competent bridge player can improve their skills in this area. * This book is in five sections: the first covers the basic double squeezes and the second describes the double and hexagon clash squeezes. The author has conducted extensive and original research in this area and has uncovered some unique findings. Although understanding of these fascinating positions is continually advancing this book goes further to analyze the concepts and technique required. * The third section covers the progressive double squeezes; the fourth the secondary clash squeezes and the last the secondary double squeezes. This book is in two parts; the first covers the basic double squeezes and the second describes some complex positions with a "clash" threat as well as some double squeezes where there are two losers. There are also some "hybrid" positions and a chapter on progressive double squeezes. These are the double squeezes where both opponents stop only two suits; those where one opponent stops three and the other two or three are discussed in "Compound Squeezes" and "Guard Squeezes".

These examples show how the basic position was reached and the preparation needed to achieve it. The mnemonic TOWEL (threats, over, winners, entries, losers) is used to categorise and analyse each position and describe its essential characteristics. This book is in two parts; the first covers the essential triple squeezes and the second describes some positions with new types of threats which are closely related to the strip squeezes.

In the modern game, the majority of auctions are competitive, and every improving player needs to acquire the tools to handle this kind of bidding.

It describes a number of useful conventions and gadgets with which the reader needs to be familiar, and suggests other optional treatments for partnership discussion. Each chapter ends with reviews and quizzes, and the final chapter is a summary quiz covering all the material.

This book is intended to help others avoid those same mistakes and to learn from those that they do make. Written in a conversational, non-technical style, this is a book that will help any intermediate player become a better bidder, a better declarer, a better defender, and a better partner--the recipe for becoming a winner.

 | Better Balanced Bidding
The Banzai Method Master Bridge
by David Jackson & Ron Klinger
List Price: $23.95 Price: $21.32 You Save: $2.63 (11%)
Are you often surprised that you have stopped in 1NT or 2NT and game is easy? Are you regularly disappointed to be in 3NT or 6NT and find that the contract is very poor even though you seem to have enough points? * If so, this book provides the reasons why your results are not always as good as you want. The main cause is that for balanced hands the point count with which you are familiar is not nearly as accurate as it should be. In addition, perhaps you fail to take into account the value of Tens and 5-card suits within a balanced hand. * The authors provide an easy to use hand valuation, which is bound to improve your results for nbalanced hands. Through many examples from international tournaments you will see how even the top players flounder on these hands. By the end of the book, if you adopt the methods recommended, you will be able to bid balanced hands much better than you do at the present.

The definitive book on the oldest--and most useful--convention in bridge, the takeout double. Originally published in 1994, this book quickly became recognized as a 'must-read' for any would-be bridge expert, and has never been out of print.
