Book Reviews of Bridge For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies))
Book Review: Excellent, comprehensive for new/intermediate player
Summary: 5 Stars
Bridge is hard, but Kantar is here to help! Kantar has already written some of the best bridge books around. Here, he covers the three fundamental aspects with style: bidding, declarer play and defense. A terrific accomplishment to prune, compact and explain all bridge aspects into a work suitable for a brand new player, but even the intermediate or intermediate-plus player will benefit (basic stuff is easily skipped). Treatment is accessible and he makes judgments on what should be "standard American style" that in the end will help the new or intermediate player (e.g. treating limit major raises as "standard") avoid the confusion that can result from debates over the "best" conventions. He shields the reader from these complexities while explaining and coordinating the basic concepts. This book could have easily been five times as long, and it is a tribute to Kantar that it was not. Kantar shows once again that he, along with the incomparable Bill Root, is one of America's foremost bridge teachers and authors.
