Penguin Handbook 1st edition, published 1961.
Despite the prolific literature on Bridge, there is no book that presents as does this one a complete and objective account of the game. An unusual feature of this book is that, although addressed for the most part to comparatively inexperienced players, it lays down no rules or principles without explaining the reason for them. Extremely hostile to the modern style of teaching in which a player is told that having so many points he must bid such-and-such, Terence Reese treats the reader as an intelligent being, carries him along at a fair rate and gives them every chance to develop their card sense. The perfect gift for the Bridge enthusiast that you know.
Condition grading: Good. Laminated cover as issued. Very minor wear to spine ends. Creases to rear cover bottom left corner.Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
