A classic no good player should be without. - By: , 06 Jan 1999 
Believe the reviews--this book cannot be overrated. It is far & away the best book ever written on playing the hand at bridge. It is encyclopedic & appropriate for experienced & novice players alike.
A must-have for anyone who enjoys playing bridge - By: , 27 Dec 1998 Very approachable yet comprehensive guide to play of the hand by declarer. Excellent for the novice player with progressive extensions into more advanced play. This book is still highly relevant despite being last revised in 1958. I'd give it 6 stars if I could!
The best book ever written on this topic. - By: , 27 Nov 1998 This book assumes you know nothing -- it tells you that an ace beats a king & . . . that a king beats a queen! From there, it takes you one simple, logical step at a time to a level of sophistication sufficient to compete against the best players in the world. It should be the very first bridge book of a beginning bridge player & one that he or she will never outgrow. People have written books on this topic for more than 70 years & no one has ever come close to matching this book.
Excellent, thorough discussion of declarer play - By: , 04 Aug 1998 This book is the best-ever discussion of declarer play. Broken up into two sections (basics & advanced), it takes the reader from absolute first principles (the meaning of rank, & promotion) to expert plays (squeezes, etc.) Learn this book & you'll never need another book on play of the hand.
Because the book was written early in the century, the writing style is slightly strange to modern readers, but shouldn't pose a problem for the interested student.
