Format:Paperback
This book assumes you know nothing -- it tells you that an ace beats a king and . . . that a king beats a queen! From there, it takes you one simple, logical step at a time to a level of sophistication sufficient to compete against the best players in the world. It should be the very first bridge book of a beginning bridge player and one that he or she will never outgrow. People have written books on this topic for more than 70 years and no one has ever come close to matching this book.

Format:Paperback
Very approachable yet comprehensive guide to play of the hand by declarer. Excellent for the novice player with progressive extensions into more advanced play. This book is still highly relevant despite being last revised in 1958. I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

Format:Paperback
This book is the best-ever discussion of declarer play. Broken up into two sections (basics and advanced), it takes the reader from absolute first principles (the meaning of rank, and promotion) to expert plays (squeezes, etc.) Learn this book and you'll never need another book on play of the hand.
Because the book was written early in the century, the writing style is slightly strange to modern readers, but shouldn't pose a problem for the interested student.
