Finally, a book for every bridge fan -- never before has there been a comprehensive history of the game.
The New York Times Bridge Book is filled with anecdotes about famous players, key tournaments, strategies, scandals, and a little instruction for good measure.
Evolving at some point in the 18th century from a card game known as "whist," bridge has undergone countless variations over the years, and acquired a massive following of dedicated clubs and international organizations in the ensuing centuries.
This definitive volume is aimed not only at the bridge-playing community but also an armchair audience fascinated by the rich role of card games in world history.
