The game of bridge is just as popular as ever among people of all ages. Bridge stands alone as being an excellent test of skill, cunning and mental sharpness, as well as a wonderfully social pastime.
Bridge for Complete Beginners is designed to show those with no previous knowledge or experience of bridge how to learn the game for competition at a social level. The basic principles are explained clearly and logically, with a thorough explanation of the Acol bidding system, and how to play a hand as declarer and in defence. All these seemingly tricky techniques are shown to be easily accessible to all who are willing to learn - regardless of age, intelligence or previous card playing experience.
The author, Paul Mendelson, is a leading international expert on bridge who has lectured all over the world. He is the bridge professional at the Roehampton Club in London and has played in many top events, winning two national titles. Paul is bridge correspondent of The Financial Times and is also the author of The Right Way to Play Bridge, long established as the definitive guide for the improving player. Paul’s new book, Bridge for Complete Beginners, looks set to become an excellent ‘prequel’ to The Right Way to Play Bridge and to match its success in reputation and sales. And at just £4.99 for 160 pages of expert advice, the book offers really unbeatable value for money.
