5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely full of useful advice
By Mr. Ian C. Kemp on 8 Sept. 2009
Format: Paperback
This is a really comprehensive book which helped me when I was a fairly new bridge player and which I still find useful many years later. I agree with the "Bridge World" review; it is absolutely packed with information, the equivalent of two or three other books, although in places this makes the style a little dense. There are plenty of good exercises and sample hands (which my bridge teacher used to use at improver level). I've always found the chapters on opening leads particularly useful, making sense of a very difficult and important subject. Highly recommended to players at all levels. The only things that are missing are advice on forming a plan at trick 1, either as declarer or as a defender, and how play strategy might differ between duplicate and rubber/teams bridge, though the last is covered in Klinger's separate book Guide To Better Duplicate Bridge (Master Bridge).

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent instruction
By Mrs. Sandra Landy on 23 Dec. 2010
Format: Paperback
Ron Klinger is one of the world's top bridge teachers and this book will help all who want to improve their card play at Bridge. It covers all the topics that a winning card player needs to know. I use it with my more advanced students, saving me hours of time inventing hands to play. Unlike many bridge books, this one seems to be error free.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent text book
By John Samuel on 5 May 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I agree with all the other reviewers here. This really is an excellent comprehensive text book, suitable for eveyone from second year improvers onwards. I've been playing ten years now and still found it full of useful tips and revision. It's well organised into 32 logical chapters, giving equal weight to declarer play and defence, so it's easy to use as a reference/lookup book. It's also packed with loads of exercises and revision tests (which I must admit I usually skip now) so it would be ideal for a classroom situation.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is spot on
By Mr. R. A. Hopton on 28 Mar. 2010
Format: Paperback
This is easily one of the best books I own, it covers a huge range of declarer and defensive technique, from the basics to intermediate play, with lots of good quizes and examples. Covers all the basics really well. I have a spare copy I lend to my partners. Definitely one to have.

5.0 out of 5 starsbest bridge book
By garyjh on 27 Aug. 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Great if you are fairly new to bridge or if you want to consolidate your acol conventions with your partner. It helps mostly with bidding but also gives tips on making extra tricks. This book really goes into great detail about each type of hand and I enjoy the many exercises that come with each chapter to help learn what you have read.

4.0 out of 5 starsFor the dedicated
By Ms. Josephine Allan on 1 Mar. 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I find it quite hard going.
There is good essential stuff like which cards to lead from which suits and so on.
For those who play Acol, I believe Klinger may be essential reading.
I have switched to SAYC and prefer Audrey Grant.
