Anybody who follows the advice and instruction in

this book can become a winning bridge player in only

five weeks. If you already have a good knowledge of the

game, you can progress much faster than this, but we

urge you to start at the very beginning and do at least

one lesson a day.

(If you have never played bridge before, it will take

a few extra days to familiarize yourself with the me-

chanics of the game, as explained on the fourteen pages

that follow. Anyone who has previously played bridge

may skip this section unless he wishes to brush up a

bit before getting to the heart of the matter-winning

bridge. )

This book will do you no good if you just put it on the

shelf. The road to you-know-where is paved with good

intentions, but there s no need for you to join the millions

of bridge players who are already there.
