Customer Reviews

Easy to follow

I have looked at several bridge books for beginners. This one breaks things down step by step, so you're not overwhelmed with information. It also explains the logic behind bids and plays, which makes them easier to understand and remember. It is by far the best beginner bridge book I have seen.

Fun and Engaging

This book's great cartoons and straightforward approach make learning bridge fun and easy. I recommend this book to many of my students: they seem to enjoy reading it and come away with a firm grasp of the basics. The cartoons and helpful summaries really stick in your mind!

A Great Way to Learn Bridge

If you're a pretty good card player, the hardest thing about learning Bridge is becoming fluent in the specialized language of bidding. Mr. Lampert actually makes this task enjoyable with his great cartoons. They make it easy to recall the proper bid(s) in each situation you encounter. This book is proof that a picture is worth a thousand words.

A wonderful book

I hold this book as the model of books I'd like to write -- on any topic. I think it helps that the author's a cartoonist. I'm ordering 8 more copies now -- I just taught a new batch of bridge players.

Best book I found to review fundamentals

Fun, easy, quick way to establish basics with potential party-bridge player entering duplicate play. I keep 2 copies so I can loan one to new partners. His other book Fun Way to Advanced Bridge is an excellent followup.
