HOW TO DEFEND A BRIDGE HAND

Alan Truscott, Bridge Editor of the NewYork Times:
"If there were a Nobel Prize for bridge teaching, it would long ago have been awarded to Bill Root, who taught thousands the finer points of the game."

Charles Goren and Omar Sharif, Tribune Media Services:
"Bill Root is acknowledged as the best bridge teacher in the world."

Alfred Sheinwold, Los Angeles Times Syndicate:
"Bill Root is America's number one bridge teacher."

The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge:
"Bill Root is one of the world's best bridge teachers."

Bill Root's books (published by Crown) include: Commonsense Bidding (American Bridge Teachers' Association Book-of-the-Year award), Modern Bridge Conventions (coauthored with Richard Pavlicek), How to Play a Bridge Hand (American Bridge Teachers' Association Book-of-the-Year award), and now the one that the bridge world has been waiting for- How to Defend a Bridge Hand.

This book is a comprehensive work covering every angle in defending bridge hands. As a bonus, there is a section on many of the lead and signal conventions practiced in expert circles.
