Baron Barclay is now carrying Bridge Tournament Handbook (baronbarclay.com).
Their blast email, which came out today, featured it in the New Book section. Here is the description:
With decades of high-level tournament bridge experience, Jennifer
Jones knows what skills are essential to tournament success. She
presents this impressive collection of tips on key bridge topics with
clarity, illustrating them with her own exciting tournament hands.
Packed
with outstanding bridge resources, plus hundreds of great tournament
tips from Jennifer and other bridge teachers and experts, this handbook
will lift your game to a new level.
The "Secrets of
the Experts" section presents valuable bids and concepts not ordinarily
included in bridge classes and books, and the section on Counting is
quite instructive.
Experienced players can refresh
their recollection of fundamental concepts such as Losing Trick Count,
Restricted Choice, Rule of 11 and the table of suit-break odds, while
newcomers can study the types of pair and team games played at NABCs in
the appendices.
Jennifer's personal account of her
focused approach to a session of tournament bridge is enlightening, as
are the descriptions of her thoughts as she bids and plays challenging
and interesting hands.
*Joanne P., a Silver Life Master from my Santa Rosa club sent me a nice comment on the book:
I stopped in Vegas last month on a planned trip to the East Coast where
I played for a day and a half in the Nationals. And, to treat myself, I
started to read your book on my short flight over. I thought it was
AWESOME. So much valuable information was packed into that small
booklet! I devoured it (not sure I'll remember any of it) and got
through most of it on the flight (and loved the meditation suggestion!).
Thanks Joanne!
See you at the table!
