Title: Wonderful for anyone interested in learning to play Bridge
Review: After taking five, 3-hour beginning Bridge lessons and continuing on with weekly, 3-hour game playing, along with help from advanced players, I bought this book. There is so much to learn in this game, including "Bridge speak" ? It would be so much easier if we could just use normal words instead of hundreds of memorized Bridge terms (and their meaning) that are used like a secret code that everyone at the table understands.I am enjoying this adventure thanks to the brilliant ongoing play and instruction by our Bridge group who uses Audrey Grant. I got her short booklet for quick look ups but this book is wonderful for going over what we were taught and didn't remember or understand. I am loving this book and feel it will speed up my Bridge playing skills. It's easy to read, understand and fun! I love the quizes which are a great way to learn and have it stick. I highly recommend this book and look forward to her other books as well.The more I play and learn, the more fun and appreciation I have for the game, players, and the wonderful people who freely devote their time to teaching Bridge because of their love for this game.

Title: seems like it was written 50 years ago
Review: The book seems and sounds like it was written 50 years ago and, maybe just copied and pasted and updated a little bit with many words and terms that seem dated and need to be defined

Title: WWAD
Review: When my "newbie" bridge group hits a situation that has us all stymied, our joke phrase is "WWAD?". What would Audrey Do?Many of us use her book as a study, reference guide. She is very knowledgeable in the ways of bridge. I use the ACBL website too, so I know she knows what she is talking about. Also, she is an outstanding teacher. It is easy to understand her teachings.I liked the format of the book. The first part of the chapters explain a topic. In the next part the topic points are demonstrated by bidding and playing bridge hands. She tells you the correct bidding and playing accompanied by a full explanation. Then at the end of the chapter is a quiz on the items covered in the chapter, again with answers and explanations.The material covered in the book is everything you need to know to start playing bridge, even duplicate bridge. I found it so helpful that I think It should be the course material book for all beginning bridge classes.Soon I will be buying the next book in her series.

Review: Excelente opcion para empezar a entender el bridge. Impresionante lo claro que esta y si bien voy por la pag 70, ya empieza todo a tener mas sentido. Cada capitulo tiene su introduccion, desarrollo y sumario y el examen ayuda a ver si algo no ha quedado claro. Ya estoy pensando en comprar el siguiente. Creo no pude haber elegido mejor!
