If you want to learn the game of Bridge, don't read this book! I think it was written for people who already know the game as a fun refresher. It introduces terms that aren't define previously and is VERY CONFUSING.

This is one of the best books I have read about the game of bridge. Simple explanations of the basics, with helpful/memorable illustrations. A great place to start!
