Title: Contract Bridge Biddling
Review: No matter what your current level of experience and expertise this easy-on-the-brain book will take you by the hand and lead you through today's acceptable bidding sequences. I learned the game more years ago than I'm willing to admit but times - and standards - change. Unless you want to have your partner constantly offering editorials at the table you'd better keep abreast of the commonly accepted methods. This book makes that possible in a clear, no-pain format. You can pick it up and put it down at your leisure. The logical arrangement makes it a snap to locate any particular areas of concern. An index might have been helpful but the detailed Table of Contents serves the reader quite well. There is also an Appendix explaining bridge scoring for both duplicate and rubber games and a useful glossary of terms near and dear to all bridge players. Red headliners and bold print draw your eye immediately to important points and the pages have room to make personal notes should you want to. Published by the American Contract Bridge League, this book is an excellent addition to your bridge library. If I could only afford one book, this would be the one.

Title: Hits bidding on the nail!!!
Review: Very detailed and well organized on how to bid correctly. Takes a complicated issue and makes it simple to understand. A must have for anyone trying to navigate the concept of bidding. Makes bidding possible to grasp rather than exasperating. With this in hand you will not get lost in the forest.

Review: All of the ACBL Bridge Series are very well written and are very easy to understand. First I bought the one on Defense and found it so helpful that I purchased the whole series. I have not finished the Bidding one yet but so far it is excellent.

Review: I have been using Audrey Grant's 'Club series' for 4 years now and find it one of the best books available to teach bridge to new students. My students are 55+ and in about 3 months, most of them have a fairly good grip on how to play this complicated game. I would recommend this book to anybody, whether they are learning bridge themselves or teach others.
