This is a newly updated and revised edition of "Bridge Over Troubled Bidding" which was published in 2000. The American Contract Bridge League has made some important changes to basic bridge bidding. Because a solid foundation in basic bidding is the bridge player's most important asset, it is necessary to keep up with the times. Although written with the novice player in mind, experienced players wishing to update their bidding skills to the "new bridge" will find it very beneficial. It is a step by step self teaching tool that is very easy to understand as it is written in plain English. The first edition covered only basic bidding but two conventions have now been added. These conventions are used in Notrump bidding and are the Stayman Convention and Jacoby Transfers.
