MORE NEW BRIDGE BOOKS REVIEWED BY PUN..........

• Bid Boldly And Take Those Risks....by Gay A. Bandon is a wonderful and inspiring book which demonstrates how aggressive bidding and opening leads can be a winning formulae. Gay's message is crystal clear : a faint heart never wins diddly squat.
• Hands That Got Me So Excited.....by Dick Swelling is a bulging collection of stunning, unusual and wildly distributional hands, chosen by kibitzers as ones which caused them to rise up out of their seats, and give the starring players huge standing ovations
• How Can You Pass A Hand Like That ! .......by Freda Bidding exposes the folly of exercising too much caution and restraint. Lurking for Freda is a complete no-no. Her advice to any aspiring bridge player is to get into the bidding early doors, and then get out of it very quickly if the hands are weak. Failing to bid often adds up to lost opportunities to either steal the contract or find a killing defence.
• How I Was Dishonourably Discharged As A Committee Member........by C. Mann is a frank and hard hitting account of what went on behind the scenes at the Slaughter House BC, where the author found himself the victim of false malicious accusations of gross misconduct. These included trumped-up allegations of betrayal, breach of confidentiality, double-dealing and out-and-out treachery. The book reveals all the back-stabbing antics and shenanigans of a committee out of control, with Bigot-Johnson, the self-appointed chairman, as the evil puppet master.
