Eric Rodwell's Bidding Topics

This book, carrying on the tradition of Eric Rodwell's Bidding Topics Book 1, contains 9 new bridge topics. As in the first book, each topic starts with the most basic aspects, then moves to intermedi-ate concepts and at the end, something for experts. This way the material should be of interest to a wide range of players. I would advise working on 1 topic at a time, digesting no more than what you think both you and partner can absorb and apply correctly. There are quizzes to help you check your understanding. When you feel ready you can always go back and delve deeper into the topic. Of course if you are just curious about the material you can read more casually. Once again, N. I. B. has prepared hands to use with their excel-lent partnership bidding app called "Ubid". This app allows you to practice bidding with your partner on a wide range of material, including the conventions I describe in both of my Topics books, before actually using it at the table. uBid is available for download from your app store. I wish to thank all who gave such positive feedback on the first Topics book, inspiring me to write this 2nd book. I hope you all enjoy it and get a lot of benefit from it. -Eric Rodwell
