Of course, the content is five stars – Terence Reese is a formidable author and player. However, from the point of view of the physical book, things are different: the book quickly fell apart in several places and the pages came loose. I wrote to MasterPoint Press to complain, but so far (and it's been two weeks) they haven't responded. If you can find another publisher or edition, don't buy this one.

Play These Hands With Me

I moved to Toronto in the 1970's, and was soon a member of the local bridge crowd. I was lucky to meet The Shoe as well as many of the characters in his book. The best part of the game was the post mortem in the nearby restaurant with many stories of success, failure and confusion by Michael and friends. When you buy this book, clear your calendar because you are not going to want to put it down. Shelagh Paulsson shep at BBO

Bridge on a Shoestring

This is an excellent book on how to improve your play by properly managing the trump suit. In fact, I found it so important that I think a title of “Essential Plays in the Trump Suit” would better describe the material it covers. The writing is clear and the style is light and enjoyable. The format works well too – two to three chapters explaining a group of related topics followed by a quiz to help ensure you remember the material by working through examples. Some of the topics that resonated with me were: - Recognizing when to draw trump (and how many rounds to draw) - Recognizing and combining chances - Handling bad breaks - And playing in 7 (or fewer) card fits Very good book aimed at the intermediate+ group.
