Summary: Excellent reference for all levels!
Comment: My boyfriend has been a Bridge player for seven years. I'm relatively new to the game. We both love this book. It breaks down each convention as well as giving details on defense, responses, and re-bids. While many Bridge books cover the conventions of Bridge, very few go into this much detail on what to do *after* you bid the convention.
Also, Root is an excellent writer for beginners/novices. He breaks things down simply. The ratings on each convention help you know which ones are easily mastered. This is also a terrific reference tome to keep handy for online games. If someone says they play a certain convention, you can look it up quickly using the index.
The glossary includes definitions of basic Bridge terms as well as variations of the conventions described.
Rating: 5
Summary: Decide which conventions to use
Comment: Every bridge player should have this volume on the bookshelf. Explains conventions in a readable format that makes it easy for you to decide which ones to use. Each convention is rated for effectiveness and simplicity.
Rating: 3
Summary: A good overview, but not much meat
Comment: This book is good if you want to learn the basics of a given convention or want to find a convention that will help in a certain area of bidding. Root lays out many popular conventions clearly and succinctly. More advanced players will find this book somewhat lacking, in that the conventions aren't treated in very much depth nor are the theories behind them discussed.
