World Class
Twenty-six of the world's top players talk about bridge -- their favorite hands, their worst moments, their most-feared opponents, and so on. We see the human side of people who to many bridge fans are just names, and we gather from them a series of tips and ideas that will help the reader improve his own game. The players covered are men and women from all parts of the world, and most will be household names for anyone who follows the game at all. The list runs from the old masters to the brightest new stars, and includes several whose contribution to the game is as a writer or teacher.
Bridge Endplays for Everyone
Endplays are an aspect of bridge declarer play that many intermediate players think are beyond them. Yet while they can be extremely complex, the basic principles are not. Using a straightforward, conversational style with recaps and quizzes, this book will make endplays understandable to many readers who have been afraid to attempt to learn them.
The Hands of Time
"As the game of bridge enters its ninth decade of existence, it is fascinating to look back at the best and most exciting moments that have occurred at the bridge table. You'll find it all in this collection: the brilliance, the blunders, the amazing triumphs, and the inexplicable falls from grace. The great players of this last century can be found here too, from Culbertson to Kanta, from Reese to Rodwell, from Harrison-Gray to Hamman and Helgemo, as well as the legendary teams like the Dallas Aces and the Italian Blue Team. Open this book anywhere, and we bet you can't put it down!"--Back cover.
The Lone Wolff
This is an author who has been there and seen it all. As a multiple world champion, and former president of the World Bridge Federation, no one is better placed to discuss the big issues that face the game today. He can talk authoritatively about cheating at the top levels of the game, destructive bidding systems, sponsorship, professional players, and the other big issues - and he does. He opens the closets of the bridge world, and shows us the skeletons inside that no one wants to talk about. Wolff names names: as the title implies, he has always been prepared to call a spade and let the chips fall where they may. Wolff describes his own life and career in bridge with a brutally honest and emotional appraisal. This book will receive major review attention, and will be as controversial as one would expect a book from this author to be.

A comprehensive reference book containing everything you want to know about bridge. 865 pages.
The Notrump Zone
Notrump openings, and the constructive auctions that follow them, are two of the most neglected areas in bridge literature. Following on from his popular articles in the ACBL Bulletin, Kleinman discusses the principles behind notrump bids and rebids in a variety of situations, emphasising the ideas and concepts rather than attempting to teach a series of rigid rules. A must for any duplicate player.
The Presidents and the Pastime
The Presidents and the Pastime draws on Curt Smith's extensive background as a former White House presidential speechwriter to chronicle the historic relationship between baseball, the "most American" sport, and the U.S. presidency. Smith, who USA TODAY calls "America's voice of authority on baseball broadcasting," starts before America's birth, when would‑be presidents played baseball antecedents. He charts how baseball cemented its reputation as America's pastime in the nineteenth century, such presidents as Lincoln and Johnson playing town ball or giving employees time off to watch. Smith tracks every U.S. president from Theodore Roosevelt to Donald Trump, each chapter filled with anecd...
