foreword
Bridge is a game enjoyed by many millions of players all over the world.
In these days of rising commercial pressures, increasing leisure and greater longevity, bridge has the potential to break down social and ethnic barriers and to keep the wheels of the brain turning in both the old and the young. Apart from that, bridge at whatever level is a very inexpensive game, all you need to play is a flat surface that the four players can sit round with a pack of cards and, of course, an understanding as to how to play the game.
It is for these reasons that I am particularly pleased to welcome the 'How to Play Bridge' series which has been specially designed to make the game easy to follow for beginners, no matter what their age. I believe that you will find the whole series well presented and particularly easy to read.
