How the Experts Win at Bridge

by Burt Hall

This book represents the best thinking of experts on every aspect of the game ... how they bid, play hands, defend, choose leads and decide when and when not to double. Special coverage is given also to team games, building successful partnerships and conventions most regularly used by experts. Finally, there is a designated self-study program to help you be the very best you can be. The unique things about this book are (1) It is the first book in 40 years to deal with the entire game of bridge. (2) It represents the modern thinking of today's experts who win national championships. (3) It is especially well-organized and easy to read. For these reasons the book received the "1997 Book of the Year" award from the American Bridge Teacher's Association and continues to be a best-seller at national tournaments.

This is a fantastic book for intermediate bridge players (I suspect also for experts, but as I'm not one I can't confirm). It provides a good framework for improving your game, covering mostly bidding and defense. To me the most valuable aspect was its outlining of the five lines of defense, and how to recognize when each is appropriate.
