Bridge: Faux Pas
Let Me Count the Ways
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
There can be no disputing the fact that the winner of a Bridge match is the pair or team who perform well under pressure – much like the winner of a tennis match is the one who has made the fewest unforced errors. Admittedly there is some luck involved in both. However, the winning Bridge player is not necessarily the one who can perform those feats of magic like, end plays, squeezes, etc. The winning Bridge player doesn’t impress with such flamboyance. The winning Bridge player is the one who plays steadily and makes only a fraction of those blunders which some players make over and over again. The need for spectacular plays arises only spasmodically. The need for steady play is constant.
This book will put you on the road to success by helping you to eliminate those costly, recurring mistakes. It will make you a much sought-after partner.

About the Book
Bridge books, like any other reference books can be tedious reading because they require your undivided attention and concentration. However to eliminate the tediousness this book has been written in a light manner and has been interspersed with Bridge stories, humorous anecdotes and one-liners. For example: All those who play at this club bring joy – some when they enter and some when they leave.
About the Author
Joe is a retired school teacher who, since retiring, has been able to pursue his passion for Bridge much more earnestly. He teaches the game year round, sometimes with as many as six classes/week, from beginners to advance players. As well, he directs up to 5 games/week, including a club which he and his indispensible wife (sidekick) have run successfully for a number of years in Burlington, Ontario. However, his involvement in the game doesn’t end with teaching and directing. He has also found time to write two published books; this one which you are about to enjoy is the third and 3 more are in various stages of production. The two which have been available for 12 and 3 months respectively are: Why You Seldom Win at Bridge and Bridge: the 7 Deadly Sins. The next 3, not yet available are:
1. Bridge: A Thinker’s Game
2. Bridge:Oddz & Endz
3. Be a Better Bidder
