PUN REVIEWS FOUR MORE STUNNING NEW BRIDGE BOOKS.....
  • Declare Play Technique : Checking Out The Danger from Both Opponents........by Clare Leftt and Clare Wright is one of the best bridge books to come out for quite some time. All the hands focus on the potential risks and dangers that could jeopardise a seemingly straight forward contract, and how an alert declarer needs to spot the danger in time, in order to find a safe route home.
  • In Bridge The Power Of Prayer Must Never Be Overlooked.......by Ima B. Lever contains some very interesting insights on how God can be employed to enhance one's bridge results. The author claims that her recent success in bridge only came about after embracing God into her life. Known within her local bridge club as a bible-bashing, religious zealot, opponents were soon amazed at how often she located missing queens by simply getting out and kneeling on her prayer mat. Constantly mumbling under her breath for requests of help from the Lord Above, she would then proceed to drop singleton offside Kings, bid sacrifices that made, and find partner holding every card she prayed for to beat the opponent's contract.
  • Strange, The Club House Seems Deserted...........by Denny Buddy Holme is the sad account of how a small village bridge club ran out of members. Many put the club's demise down to the fact that the young people in the area had no interest in the game, and that as members died off no one came to replace them. However, other people are convinced that the real reason behind dwindling numbers was Bigot-Johnson himself, who single-handedly scared people away through his unacceptable behaviour and outrageous table antics.
  • No Way Will We Re-admit You As A Member...........by Doris Schutt is a shocking tale of how an expelled member went to great lengths to re-instate himself back into the fold. Using bribery, voodoo spells, threats, the law courts, cunning disguises, false identities, and friends from within, to bring about a change of mind ( and heart ) of an intransigent committee, the person in question failed miserably in his attempt to find a way back in.
