MindZine - Bridge

This weighty tome is not just a welcome addition to any bridge library, it is almost a complete bridge library in itself. It is an ideal book to lend to any beginner or complete novice as the first half of the book covers all the basics with a light touch, as well as containing a glossary of all the standard bridge terms, a feature omitted from far too many beginner's books.

It then has a wealth of historical information that is difficult to find elsewhere, details of special events and pen portraits of the world's leading bridge players past and present. It is also bang up to date with details of the strength of bridge-playing software and an appraisal of all the best bridge-related websites. The best bridge books are also recommended and classified.

As the title suggests, it is possibly the best-value bridge book published this year, with over 500 pages. This is a book that you will refer to time and again and is certainly something to put on your Christmas list.
