    Best book on the market for learning the game of Bridge

    This book beats even "Bridge for Dummies" for clarity, explanations and to-the-point examples. My son-in-law wanted to learn the game of Bridge, and I looked into eight (at least) books on that subject (to give as a present at Christmas time.) This one, "Complete Idiot's Guide", in spite of its derogatory title, has just enough illustrations to clarify a point, without being "cutesy", presents actual situations with easy, practical solutions, and has just enough humor to keep it interesting without being condescending.

    The Complete Idiot's Guide To Bridge

    It seemed to be the best of the choices that were available for helps playing the game of bridge. It could probably be arranged in a simpler format. I had a bit of problem locating some specific info.
