Book excerpt: "The Expert Improver follows on from Danny Roth's foundation book, The Expert Beginner. Intermediate learners are introduced to more complicated bridge play and defence, as well as to new techniques and bidding conventions. Using the same radical approach as in the first book, Roth gives exercises to be done against a stop-watch. In each example every card played and bid made is explained and justified, so that the student understands the principle behind what he or she is doing. Anyone who has completed the exercises in both books will be well on their way towards becoming an expert bridge player and a popular partner."--Back cover

Book excerpt: When Alton's ageing, blind uncle asks him to attend bridge games with him, he agrees. After all, it's better than a crappy summer job in the local shopping mall, and Alton's mother thinks it might secure their way to a good inheritance sometime in the future. But, like all apparently casual choices in any of Louis Sachar's wonderful books, this choice soon turns out to be a lot more complex than Alton could ever have imagined. As his relationship with his uncle develops, and he meets the very attractive Toni, deeply buried secrets are uncovered and a romance that spans decades is finally brought to conclusion. Alton's mother is in for a surprise!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The key to becoming an expert bridge player lies in acquiring a thorough knowledge of the laws and procedures of the game before sitting down to the bridge table. All too often, students are encouraged to start playing before they have grasped even the rudiments of the game, and as a result never achieve 'expert' status. The Expert Beginner offers a completely different approach to learning how to play bridge. Emphasis is placed on developing a sound platform of understanding by working through exercises with a stop-watch, so that the basic principles become second nature."--Back cover.

Book excerpt: When Linda Tafet injured her shoulder and could no longer play golf or tennis, she found a new passion in the game of bridge. She took lessons, and the more she learned the more fascinated she became with the game. Every time she learned something new, she would condense it into her own words on a small index card. Soon, these cards became a stack, and then she combined the stack into a small three-ring binder. When her bridge friends saw what she was up to, they asked her to make them binders as well, and pretty soon she found herself in the handmade book-making business, selling each book for $75 each. After selling more than five hundred of these books, Linda decided she was working too hard and could reach more bridge players if she published her book. The Best Bridge Book is a compilation of her original handmade book, now produced as a paperback. Larry Cohen, a very good friend of Linda's and one of the best bridge teachers in the world, edited her book, ensuring that each lesson is correct and easy to follow. Now all bridge players from beginners to advanced can enjoy and learn from Linda's book.
