Critics’ Viewpoint

"An excellent collection; a challenging batch - not for beginners."

— The Denver Post

"A difficult book which repays time and effort spent on it, and as a consequence, extremely good value for money."

— Bridge Plus

"The problems are tough but fair, and will well reward your investment of both money and time."

— National Post

"Really meaty problems, not for the faint-hearted!"

— The Herald

"There is one big advantage to writing magazine articles before putting them into book form: if you make a mistake or overlook an alternative, you will receive mail from sharp-eyed readers and can then adjust or expand your analysis. You know what to expect [here]: difficult declarer problems that may break new ground. Have fun!"

— The Bridge World

"A fine collection of hands, but you should definitely heed the author's advice to only tackle a few problems at a time."

— The Bridge Shop, Australia
