This is a perfect follow up to
The Times Beginner’s Guide to Bridge: A practical guide on how to play and master bridge
If you are beyond a beginner but not yet an expert this will give plenty of ways to improve your bridge.
As with his earlier book the bidding system he uses is an English based Acol system with a strong two opening.
