Bill Root's How to Play a Bridge Hand is very well organized
and very easy to follow - from how to play card combinations
through operating a squeeze play.
At the end of each of the twelve chapters there is a quiz of
problem hands to solve.
There is much to be learned from this book and I highly
recommend it for the novice through advanced player.

Format:Paperback
Bill Root's "How to Teach a Bridge Hand" is for most bridge players from novice to advanced, but not for experts. It covers the basics of dummy play, with clear presentations. You won't find strip squeeze and entry-shifting squeeze in this book, but you will find the book useful for those hands frequently appearing at the table.

Covers a lot in not much space
14 Jan 2004
Format:Paperback
As one who considers himself in the upper novice category of bridge playing, I find this book to be a great tool to learn various techniques for playing bridge hands. There is no bidding in the examples unless it is required for play decisions. There is also no discussion of defense. The book has 12 chapters which each feature an 8 hand quiz at the end. The quiz hands usually focus on the concept covered in the chapter, but also branch out into ideas covered in previous chapters. Basic techniques such as trump play, entries, end plays, and squeezes have their own chapters. As the forward points out, this book is not for rank beginners, nor will the expert get much out of it. For the other 90% of us, it's a great resource to have!
