About the Book

For about 25 years, Marshall Miles was the moderator of an all-star bidding panel for a California bridge publication. This book is a compilation of his favorite bidding problems from those years, together with the panel's views and Miles' own trenchant comments. As ever, he is prepared to go his own way; he refuses, for example, to assign scores to various bids on the grounds that he wasn't going to give himself 20/100 when he knew his answer was right, even if no one on the panel agreed with him! A bonus section includes Miles' latest thoughts and recommendations on a number of cutting-edge bidding ideas.

Media Reviews

June 1st, 2011
ACBL Bulletin
"The reader will find himself alternatively cheering the author's nonconformist style or shaking his head at Miles' idiosyncratic views. Either way, Miles forces the reader to think. By the time you finish this work, you will have a reluctance to treat any bid as automatic or routine." A

The MidWest Book Review
"A strong and highly recommended read."

Belleville Intelligencer
"The reader is well advised to consider [Miles'] ideas carefully, especially his thoughtful comments on the issue of captaincy, an idea seldom considered in bidding textbooks. By the end of the book, the reader will have had ample opportunity to improve his bidding judgment by comparing his choices with those of the experts."
