Over Hoffman's Shoulder
by Martin Hoffman & Marc Smith
Finesse Books (UK), available from March 2001

In a glittering career spanning more than four decades, fabled card player Martin Hoffman has achieved phenomenal success in tournaments around the world. Time after time he has achieved a top-five finish in major pairs events, partnered only by a client. Regular international partnerships, finishing twenty or thirty places lower, look on in amazement. 'How can he do it?' they ask.

In this exciting book he joins with Marc Smith to tell the reader exactly what went through his mind as he tackled some great deals - from the initial bidding, right through to their triumphant conclusion.

Martin still lives in London but now spends the winters in Florida, but he still travels extensively to tournaments throughout the US and Europe. In this book you will be at his side for a whole year, seeing the world as a bridge professional does.

The authors are indebted to the late Terence Reese, who introduced the 'over the shoulder' format of writing in his timeless classic, Play These Hands With Me.

This book will be available from all bridge book suppliers in March 2001.
