Bridge for Everyone: A Step-by-Step Guide to Rules, Bidding, and Play of the Hand, 2nd Edition by D. W. Crisfield

Bridge is a famously challenging card game, one that’s next to impossible to learn without a whole host of visual aids. But books on the subject all too often seem to ignore this.

Enter Bridge for Everyone, which takes a step-by-step, visual approach to explaining the game clearly to beginners and intermediates. With 400 full-color photos, it begins with the rules and the fundamentals of bidding, play, defense, and scoring. Not only does it give you what it takes to hold your ground no matter what your hand, it then takes the bidding up a notch by introducing more techniques—and strategies for winning.
