***HOW TO PLAY A BRIDGE HAND
by Bill Root If you could own just one bridge book, this should be it. This timeless classic is superior to the venerable Play of the Hand by Watson because of its beautiful layout and presentation. |
 |
***HOW TO DEFEND A BRIDGE HAND by Bill Root This should be the 2nd book in everyone's bridge library. Another timeless classic that thoroughly covers its subject and presents it in a clear, attractive format. |
