An Honors Book from Master Point Press Bridge partnerships can be
fun. We all know that. Of course, they can also be difficult,
maddening, disappointing, and frustrating. We all know that, too.
But when the players of these partnerships are also spouses - well
that's when things can get downright tricky - and only some of us
know that. In this book, Kathleen Vishner shares with you the highs
and lows of learning duplicate bridge while partnering with her
ever-patient husband, Andy. Follow his attempts to teach her the
game himself (not a good idea) and share the emotion that somehow
escaped his notice when Kathy played her very first game. Come on
along and experience again for yourself the initial shock of a
penalty double or the bewilderment at the sheer number of rules
that can be unwittingly broken. Peek behind the scenes to see the
workings of some fabulous bridge clubs, and get the inside scoop on
what directors really think of "slow play." And for you teachers
out there - helpful "Hints" throughout the book will remind you of
the beginner's mindset and suggest techniques to help students
learn and become more comfortable with the game. Many illustrative
bridge hands pinpoint typical areas of confusion and explain the
reasoning behind the many misunderstandings of a less experienced
player. This book tells a delightful story, always punctuated with
humor, and one that can be appreciated by bridge players of all
experience levels. So take off your shoes, put up your feet, and
enjoy the read. KATHLEEN VISHNER (Arizona) received her degree in
Philosophy and was fortunate to be hired at the local Whataburger.
Finding advancement opportunities limited (and rent monies short),
she reluctantly changed career paths and became-of all things-a
Certified Public Accountant. Thousands of business reports and
countless financial statements later, Kathy gleefully retired and
now spends time in more whimsical pursuits-like learning bridge.
She lives in Green Valley, Arizona with her husband, Andy, and
their two perfect cats, Bob and Annabelle.
