Excerpt from The Bridge Blue Book: A Compilation of Opinions of the Leading Bridge Authorities, on Leads, Declarations, Inferences, and the General Play of the Game

"The Bridge Blue Book" is a comprehensive analysis of the various publications on Bridge. The author has endeavored throughout the book to give full credit to all the writers whose opinions are quoted.

The purpose of the book is to point out clearly - for the teacher, advanced student, and beginner - how the most frequently occurring and important combinations of cards are treated by different leading authorities. This is accomplished by means of clearly tabulated forms and supporting explanations introduced throughout the book, and particularly in the article treating of the different leads.

To the several new games of Bridge for less than four players, which are included in the book and which are more or less unknown in the United States, much space has purposely been devoted; and, in this connection, the singular attractiveness of Auction Bridge must be especially pointed out.

The bibliographical and historical compilations as well as the glossary and general index may claim to be the first instituted with thoroughness, the few efforts hitherto made in these lines not being worthy of serious attention.

Thanks are due to the editors of The Field, the Saturday Review, and Vanity Fair for courtesies extended, as well as to Mr. Fisher Ames, the well-known author, and to Mr. L. J. Brack, editor of "Bridge," for valuable suggestions as to the general treatment of the present work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Bridge, a card game that rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author, a dedicated student of the game, provides a comprehensive analysis of the various publications on Bridge, drawing upon the opinions of leading authorities of the era. The text explores the historical evolution of Bridge, tracing its roots back to Russia and its rapid rise to popularity in England and America. The book then delves into the nuances of the game itself, offering a detailed guide to the strategies and conventions that govern the play. With a focus on the declaration, the most critical element of the game, the author guides readers through the art of choosing the best trump suit, or opting for No Trumps, based on the strength of their hand. The author further analyzes the principles of doubling and redoubling, offering practical advice for both beginners and experienced players. The book goes beyond the core mechanics of the game, exploring the various sub-genres of Bridge, including Dummy Bridge, Double Dummy Bridge, Duplicate Bridge, and Auction Bridge. The author's meticulous compilation of historical and bibliographical details, along with a glossary of terms, makes this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of Bridge.
