Description
Bridge books on all aspects of the game are plentiful. However many times reference is made to a specific technique, a rule, a law, different terms and their definitions. This book tries to explain those guidelines of the game which many players have not heard of, don't understand or ignore to their own detriment. It's not really meant as a complete treatment of any aspect of bridge. It simply tries to touch on some "Oddz" and "Endz" of the game which may need clarification to some and learning to others. Basically, the book tries to clarify some of those points which you've heard only fleetingly or have left you puzzled when reading something about the game.
