This is a great book - it starts off the complete beginner, on Bridge-like games, and works it's way up to comlete Bridge. It includes many examples on all of the aspects that it covers, and even gives the answers to it's exercises in the back of the book. By the end of the book, the beginner has turned into a competent player, good enough to play in a duplicate Bridge session. Whatsmore, the book is not thousands of pages long... it condenses all the information it contains into a short, manageable book, which in turn are split up even further to small readable chapters. The information contained within each chapters is well set out so that upon reading it you will be able to memorize 2 or 3 key points that are VERY useful when playing the game of bridge.
I started off by reading this book, and I found it very easy to understand.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LEARN THE FANTASTIC, SOCIABLE AND ENJOYABLE GAME OF BRIDGE...
