Advanced players are also able to learn new and unfamiliar conventions. This book is easy to read as it has no extraneous details. It is written clearly and concisely so that each member of the partnership will have an exact understanding of their partner's bid. This book is loaded with information about how to use – and avoid abusing – a long list of conventions. 57+ Bridge Conventions Made Easy can be used by steady partners and by casual partners. The book is arranged alphabetically and indexed so that a convention can be easily found. Awarded the 2016 eLit Gold Award for Best How-To Book and the Bronze Award for Education/Academic/Teaching.
