About the Book

Twenty years ago, Mike Lawrence published a series of short booklets for intermediate players, entitled Topics on Bridge, with advice on various aspects of bidding and cardplay. Long unavailable, this material has now been revised, updated, and republished in three anthology volumes, each comprised of about ten of the original booklets. The topics here include: Four-Card Overcalls, Bidding over Preempts, Balancing and Takeout Doubles. Lawrence is acknowledged as one of the two or three best writers in the world for intermediate players, and there will be a ready audience for this series in its new format.

Lawrence writes with great patience and humor. Like the best kind of teacher, he suggests how to see and think about a hand or an auction. The third volume can’t come soon enough!

These books contain a wealth of ideas for the advancing and experienced player and rate to become classics in bridge literature. Do yourself a favour and buy them. Read them at your leisure but study them carefully. As Ray Lee notes in his Foreword, "If you just pick up one key idea from each chapter, and remember to apply it when you're at the table, your results will improve noticeably.
