Building Bridge

I learned bridge the way most people probably do-- some friends taught me how in college. After I'd been playing a year or two I bought this book which made the reasoning behind some of the rules I'd been following blindly and altered radically my own approach to teaching the game to others. It's also generally fun to read and one section flows nicely into the next. My one complaint: The edition I have is printed on very cheap paper and I'm not sure how long it will last. Hope it comes back into print soon!

I'm just a beginner learning Bridge by all different means - computer programs, books, and so on, but not with real people and not on-line yet. This book is teaching me more than any other book I've seen or read, and I'm really beginning to understand the game PLUS the reasons behind the bidding and play, thanks to this book. I really can't say enough good things about this book. If you're learning Bridge, I highly recommend it, and while you're learning, please drop me a line, too. (PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION IN MY E-MAIL ADDRESS) P.S.: I've been teaching my 13-, 12-, and 9-year-olds out of this book, too, and it's easy enough for them to understand
