ill., br. Questo volume non pretende di far diventare imbattibili al tavolo da Bridge, ma insegna a padroneggiare velocemente i rudimenti del gioco. A un primo capitolo che offre brevi cenni storici e si sofferma sui meccanismi basilari (la coppia, la gerarchia dei colori e delle carte, la dichiarazione), seguono altre 13 sezioni che esaminano i diversi aspetti tecnici, la terminologia, l'analisi del comportamento avversario e l'intesa con il proprio partner. Passo dopo passo, l'autore introduce i lettori alle conoscenze necessario per iniziare a giocare da subito, coadiuvando le spiegazioni con esercizi mirati e schemi di gioco che simulano la messa in pratica delle regole e delle tattiche descritte.
br. Questo volume, secondo della serie dedicata al bridge e curata da Riccardo Vandoni, vuole aiutare il lettore nell'apprendimento progressivo del gioco. Mentre il primo volume lo accompagnava negli iniziali rudimenti della dichiarazione, questo gli fornisce le basi tecniche per un buon gioco con il morto e per un valido controgioco. Gli insegna, cioè, a fare più prese possibili sia in attacco che in difesa. Accanto quindi all'enunciazione delle principali manovre a cui dovrà assoggettarsi il vivo (tutte accompagnate da esercizi che rendono chiari i concetti e le logiche espresse), vengono trattate anche le iniziali manovre di controgioco (attacchi contro contratti a colore e a senza atout).
152 pages. Large oblong book measuring 10" x 14.5". "Because war censorship forbade publicity there is a widespread lack of knowledge of the outstanding production job for the war effort done by British Columbia industry... Few British Columbians - certainly very few Eastern Canadians, United States business men or British Empire industrialists - realize the extent of the accomplishments and the facilities that are now available here for manufacturing of all kinds. This survey has been prepared to place on record the information that is felt should be known.
