CHAUNCEY GARDINER'S SUPERB BRIDGE BOOKS FOR BUDDING BRIDGE PLAYERS....... ( Recommended reading by Pun )

This little known author wrote many books on bridge to give those with a passion for the game a chance to blossom and grow into quality players, and dedicated club members . Anyone who has just one of his books buried away in the loft will have a very rare and collectible item indeed, probably worth it's weight in gold. In all he wrote 16 books, but unfortunately all the titles had " gardening " connotations, and as a result far too many bridge players chose to overlook or ignore them.
However, the full list of his truly amazing and instructive books can be seen below :

  • Weeding Out Bad Habits
  • Shooting For Tops
  • Branching Out Into The Big Arenas
  • Shedding Useless Gadgets And Conventions
  • Bidding On Filth
  • Grassing Up Wrongdoers 
  • Calling A Spade A Spade
  • Morton's Fork And Other Coups
  • Digging Out Results The Hard Way
  • Hedging One's Bets
  • Getting The Dirt On Troublesome Members
  • Turfing Out Cheats And Coffee-housers
  • Axing Your Way To Success
  • How To Avoid Becoming A Cropper
  • The Forbidden Art Of Fielding Psyches
  • Rooting Out The Nasties
