Imagine sitting down after your regular club game and having an expert spend 10-15 minutes discussing with you each deal that you have just played. What a learning opportunity this presents! This would be the perfect gift for that player who is hoping to move to the next level and start challenging the top players in her club. Or it would be an excellent book for someone who just likes to sit and discuss bridge over a cup of coffee or a cup of tea or some drink even a little stronger.
