Rating:  Summary: I love this book but have questions Review: I am a returning bridge player and find this book very helpful in refreshing my mind about the game. I have a question for the author and don't know how to ask him except here. Mr Bayone, where did you find the scoring system which I love but have never seen before? I want to change my bridge table over to your system but need some validation. Thank you

Rating:  Summary: Completely different---completely effective! Review: I've read many introductory books to bridge, and this is in a league of its own! A very simple, straightforward, logical approach to playing. The book begins with the playing of the hands (in no-trump then trump), and moves to bidding as a logical extension of the ability to win tricks. This approach is unique, and takes allows the player to LEARN the proper bidding, rather than to memorize (too) many sets of numbers for bidding hands. Also, I felt that the other books I have read did not offer a strong foundation in the playing-out of the hands. I'll be purchasing copies for non-bridge-playing friends! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Rating:  Summary: All Right, I'll Bite. Review: Sure thing, if you're thinking Bridge go no further. Kick back, or swim up but don't pass this one by. I've learned bridge in side and out, and frankly, though the subject matter can be somewhat dry at times, the presentation is Numeral UNO!
Rating:  Summary: Best bridge book I've read (and I've read a bunch) Review: What I like about this book is that he takes his time to build a point slowly and methodically, with lots of examples. You understand the logic behind the "rules", so you can figure them out for yourself. After reading it, I went back and picked up "Bridge for Dummies", and B4D paled by comparison.
