 David
Bird & Tim Bourke
David
Bird's witty stories about the bridge-playing monks of St. Titus
and their obnoxious Abbot have formed the basis of six previous collections,
and appear regularly in bridge magazines throughout North America
and the UK. This seventh book in the canon is presented in a new
quiz format, so that you can try to solve the bridge problems before
the monks encounter them. At the end of the book, an annotated Answers
section allows you to rate your own game.

 Eddie
Kantar
This
is an general interest book for any level player. Eddie Kantar is
not only one of today's best bridge writers, he's also one of the
funniest. His two previous collections, Bridge Humor and The Best
of Eddie Kantar, have been out of print for some years, and are still
much sought after. For Classic Kantar, Eddie has selected the very
best stories from the two previous books, and has added many new
ones. As always, he pokes fun at the top experts, and chronicles
some of the bids and plays they hoped would never come to light (typically,
though, there are more of his disasters in here than anyone else's.)
His misadventures as a 'world traveler' are legendary. And appearing
here for the first time in book form are all the stories from Eddie's
notorious and hilarious Home Game. This book which was published
in 1999, contains 190 pages. Paperback.

Silver & Tim Bourke
David
Silver's first two books of humorous bridge stories have received
terrific reviews, and this new collection will be welcome by his
many fans. Our familiar cast of characters (Wright Cardinal, Brad
Bullock, Bruce Gowdy, and of course, Professor Silver himself) again
takes bridge into the realms of literary parody. Astute readers will
recognize allusions to the works of Hemingway and other literary
giants, while movie buffs will enjoy the 'bridge versions' of Citizen
Kane, Casablanca, Star Trek TNG, and other favorites. And when the
professor takes on Death and the Devil in the ultimate post-mortem
analysis, you just know who's going to come out the winner.

 Roselyn
Teukolsky
Even
social bridge can be like a roller-coaster, where partners rocket
up and down together from euphoria to 'you idiot' — while club
and tournament bridge are worse still. Indeed, when a married couple
play bridge together, they tend to drag the marriage along with them — for
better or worse. For the answer to the social dilemma of how to survive
bridge games with your spouse, read this book. You will learn to
deal with such situations as premarital bridge, bridge with another
couple, disaster recovery, romantic weekends, mid-life crises and
even children as the critical phases of a bridge marriage are subjected
to Ms. Teukolsky's witty and engaging analysis and advice.
