MORE SNAPPY BRIDGE BOOK REVIEWS BY PUN............

• Playing Bridge Like There's No Tomorrow.........by L. Furlether is a wonderful attempt by the author to get slow players to change their ways. The book offers advice on a range of psychological ploys and techniques designed to make them react faster. The author firmly believes that every slow player can be made to bid and play the cards without thinking.
• Playing Bridge With Passion And Commitment ......Art N. Sole is a must-read-at-all-costs bible for players who are aiming to be winners. The author makes it quite clear that unless players adopt the philosophy of " continuous improvement " very little will ever be achieved. Bridge , like every major sport, requires years of dedicated training and top quality coaching.
• Bridge For A Novice............by Bea Ginah is a gentle introduction to the basic essentials of bidding and card play. Her main objective is to hammer home the message that bridge is easy, if things are kept simple. This requires the use of common sense, along with a specially designed 4 row 13 bead abacus ( which comes as " a freebie " with the book ) .
• No Way Captain Was I To Blame......by Buck Passing is a book that offers the reader a multitude of ideas on how to dream up plausible excuses for poor performances, and in the process transfer blame onto others. Shifting fault and responsibility for defeat elsewhere is, according to the author, an important ego preservation manouevre. Moreover, skill in this particular area can help a player retain their place in the team, despite being the weakest link.
