[Cover Photo] Middle Limit Holdem Poker
Bob Ciaffone and Jim Brier
If you want to learn by looking over the shoulder of an expert as he plays hundreds of tricky hands, this is the book for you. Every chapter is full of examples drawn from real play. Organized by hand type and street; a whole chapter just on how to play overcards on the flop, for instance. No pretty pictures or fancy charts in this book -- just solid advice cover to cover!
Slightly shopworn. Cover shows wear, all pages are in excellent condition. A bargain. Regular retail price $25.00.
$17.50
By special order only


Swiss Team Tactics
Harold Feldheim
A detailed look at how Swiss Teams strategy differs from longer knockout teams matches and from pairs play. Special sections on how to cope with exceptionally weak or strong opponents.
This is a very underrated book, very readable, and the bidding and delcaring advice is excellent in general even if you don't play Swisses particularly often.

A popular out-of-print item. Only one left in stock!

[Cover Photo] Moments of Truth at the Bridge Table
R. Jayaram
A collection of deals from real play where expert declarers took seemingly anti-percentage lines and explained their thought processes afterward. Sometimes it's just "table sense," other times there is more going on behind the scenes with the odds than you think! Out of print and hard to find. Retails at $16.95. When my copies are gone they're gone.

[Cover Photo] Gamesman Bridge
Eddie Kantar
A rarely seen early Kantar book, from way back in 1972. The story of a beginner named Stanley's journey to becoming a strong bridge player. Is it a bridge novel, or a lesson series taught with the classic Kantar wit sprinkled through it from beginning to end?

[Cover Photo] Encyclopedia of Card Play Techniques
Guy Levé
Perhaps the most complete catalogue of declarer-play techniques ever assembled. It opens with a summary of planning the play, then describes and shows an example of every known declarer play maneuver, from the mundane like suit establishment and the different kinds of finesses, through all sorts of endplays and coups to two dozen different kinds of trump squeezes. A great reference for the serious student of the game.
List price $34.95! A fantastic collection of hands; I'd hate to see the cover price keep you from reading it.
