It is presumed that you start with no knowledge of the game at all. The essence of this book, therefore, is its simplified step-by-step approach. You are led logically through the key basic principles. You learn about the Acol system of bidding, and how to play a hand, both as declarer and in defence. Once you have mastered this book, you should have reached the standard of a good 'social' player. While good bridge classes are, of course, of great value, this book is itself the complete tutorial. It is designed to enable you to learn properly without other help.
