Anyone serious about improving their game needs to own a copy of this book.
Alfred Sheinwold's review of the original edition: 'If you read only one bridge book this year, this should be it.'
Mike Lawrence (TN) has Hall of Fame credentials both as a player and a writer. An original member of the Dallas Aces, he has won three world titles and eighteen national titles. Several of his books are widely regarded as classics of the game.
Mike Lawrence is one of the masters of bridge literature. With a breezy conversational style, plenty of humour and a keen grasp of the subtleties of the game, his books are always worth reading.
