A heads-up for American bridge novices
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I just want beginning bridge players to understand that the ACOL system of bidding that this book teaches so well is NOT the same as the system or systems normally used in the USA. When scoping out bridge texts, you will want to be sure that the bidding style is called "Standard American" or, more specifically, "five-card majors." The highly regarded "Two over one game force," (abbreviated "2/1") will probably not appear in a text aimed at beginners; but there's a good chance you'll wind up there eventually if you stick with the game. Bridge is a wonderful game; I just don't want us Yanks boning up on a system that is of little or no use on this side of the pond!

A great introductory guide to Acol bridge
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The best introductory book on ACOL bridge I have yet encountered. Clear and concise explanations of bidding and play strategies and the reasoning behind them, logical sequencing and helpful "Briefing" summaries at the end of key chapters. Thoroughly recommended.
