Bidding Basics [Glandorf]

This is the second in a series of three textbooks and accompanying workbooks for anyone starting out with bridge.

David Glandorf's innovative approach to teaching steers away from traditional methods that focus on memorising point counts in order to bid this or that. Apart from basic opening bids and responses, this text covers rebids, overcalls, takeout doubles, cuebids and how to properly use the Law of Total Tricks.

Series of questions are asked of the reader as the auction progresses and their answers of Yes, No or Maybe govern the subsequent bidding. The impact of these answers is given as the auction progresses, determining right or wrong answers.

"I only wish that such a book had existed when I was starting out."  Barbara Seagram -author of 25 Bridge Conventions You Should Know.
