	Off-Road Declarer Play: Unusual Ways to Play a Bridge Hand
	David Bird
	Fourteen chapters of advice on how to handle unpleasant problems in the play of the hand when the easy "textbook" solutions don't apply: ways to reach an apparently entryless dummy, to unblock blocked suits, to cope with bad trump breaks, to rectify the count for a squeeze when the obvious way of giving up a trick is dangerous, and more.
	$18.95		By special order only

	Three Notrump in Depth
	Augie Boehm
	The Professor and Sally Fourth tackle "everyone's favorite contract," 3NT. The first half of the book is about bidding judgment -- whether to bid 3NT or four of a major, how to ask for stoppers and half-stoppers, when you can bid 3NT with a long running suit and less than 26HCP. The second half tackles planning the play.

	Great Hands I Almost Played
	Sally and Raymond Brock
	When's the last time you said to yourself, "gee, I wish I could play that last hand over again!"? You'll feel better knowing that experts say the same thing to themselves more often than you'd think. The Brocks tattle on themselves, showing dozens of real-life hands, and showing how they should have been played and why. (And yes, they confess what really happened at the table on each deal, too.)

	Leading Questions in Bridge
	Sally Brock
	An opening-leads book with a twist. It has a chapter for each of the common nuggets of opening-lead advice: fourth from your longest and strongest against notrump, singleton against a trump contract, and so on - and then examines each of these in detail, showing several examples where the "nursery rhyme" is right and where it is wrong, explaining how to tell the difference.

	Persistent Human Bridge Errors

	Encyclopedia of Card Play Techniques
	Guy Levé
	Perhaps the most complete catalogue of declarer-play techniques ever assembled. It opens with a summary of planning the play, then describes and shows an example of every known declarer play maneuver, from the mundane like suit establishment and the different kinds of finesses, through all sorts of endplays and coups to two dozen different kinds of trump squeezes. A great reference for the serious student of the game.

	How I Became a Life Master Playing the Weak Notrump
	Eric von der Luft
	A thorough guide to how to incorporate a weak notrump opening into Standard American bidding. Chapters on how your suit openings are effected; on the merits of each notrump range; on responses to the weak notrump, including how to escape with weak misfits. A complete overview of standard bidding along the way, too.
	$16.95		Available now and ready to ship

	My System: The Unbalanced Diamond
	Marshall Miles
	Marshall Miles describes his own preferred bidding system, featuring a 1D opening that promises a minimum opening and an unbalanced hand without a 5-card major, limited 1H and 1S openings limited to 15 HCP, a weak 1NT opener, and an artificial 1C opening covering 15-20 point hands, with a Standard-American-like 2C opening. Halfway between Standard and a club system, like nothing else you've played against, but all General Convention Chart-legal and playable in ACBL tournaments.

	Cuebidding at Bridge: a Modern Approach
	Ken Rexford
	The most detailed coverage of modern "Italian style" cuebidding in print. Rexford has some innovative ideas about using the space between 2 and 3 of your major for cuebidding after an auction like 1H-2C-2D-2H if you use the 2/1GF system. If you prefer the traditional "aces first" style of cuebids, I recommend Ron Klinger's Cuebidding to Slams.

	Things Your Bridge Teacher Won't Tell You
	Dan Romm
	A high-stakes money bridge player talks about methods and tactics that have made him a winner. The first third of the book is about mental preparation and overall approach; the second part tips applicable to particular situations; the third part covers 20 popular bidding conventions: why he loves some, why he hates others. An excellent practical resource if you play a lot of individual tournaments or a wide variety of pickup partners.

	The Weak Notrump: How to Play It, How to Play Against It
	Andy Stark
	The complete guide to the 12-14 notrump opening. "How to Play It" covers transfer-style responses, two-way stayman, adjustments to the rest of your bidding system, coping with interference, and more: "How To Play Against It" discusses reasons why you should defend differently vs. strong and weak notrumps, and offers both a simple and a scientific defense to try.
