NEW FROM BARON BARCLAY
2 Over 1 Game Force
By Audrey Grant and Eric Rodwell
Learn this exciting approach to bidding from two of the biggest names in bridge! This book shows how 2/1 makes it easier for the
partnership to get to the best game contract and explore the possibility of slam. It also describes how 1NT as a forcing response can
improve the partnership results, even on partscore hands. Bidding is color-coded to help the reader easily recognize whether a bid is
invitational, forcing, marathon, or a signoff. Summaries, exercises, and sample deals illustrate the ideas.

2008 World Bridge Championships Beijing
Edited by Brian Senior
With the usual coverage of the Open, Women, Seniors, and Transnationals World Championships plus coverage of the Youth events of
the first World Mind Sports Games, this book is bigger than ever. It has 384 instead of 336 pages, yet it's the same price as last year.
Don't miss the dramatic finish to the Seniors (decided on the last board by 2 IMPs) and the Women (by 1 IMP).
