Second edition, revised and updated. Twenty years ago, Kantar set about
distilling his bridge wisdom into a trilogy of books for the
intermediate player, one each on Bidding, Play and Defense. Each
consisted of several hundred short Tips, and the author believes that
any reader who absorbs even a fraction of them will improve his or her
game by at least 25%. The Tips in this book have been completely revised
and updated by the author in the light of modern bidding, and a number
of new tips have been added. Eddie Kantar (Santa Monica, CA) is one of
the most popular and prolific bridge writers in the world. A winner of
two World Championships, and a member of the Bridge Hall of Fame, his
many books include Modern Bridge Defense, Advanced Bridge Defense, the
hilarious Kantar on Kontract, and of course, Roman Keycard Blackwood.
His work appears regularly in many bridge magazines around the world.
"There is abundant new material in this second edition. I can't think of
any basic defensive topic that is not covered. It is an ideal primer:
complete, succinct, entertaining and witty."- Bruce Altshuler, The
Bridge World
