Duplicate Bridge

I'm just learning how to play and score in Duplicate Bridge. This is a very helpful book and would recommend it to anyone new to Duplicate. It's an easy read.

A straight-forward, easy read.

If you're looking for in depth strategy and complex bidding systems for winning duplicate bridge, this is NOT the book you seek. If, however, you are looking for a quick read before you go to your first duplicate game, or if you are saddled with the task of organizing an impromptu tournament to "try something new", you won't regret purchasing this book. Furthermore, it will give you a firm foothold from which to explore the more detailed books on strategy and bidding.
