Peter Crawley | 1924-2022
Peter Crawley, who created the
Master Bridge Series (MBS), one of the
leading bridge lists in the world, died
Jan. 18 at the age of 98. The list was
started in 1975 and Crawley continued
to publish new titles until just before
he died. Most of the early books are
still in print with authors such as Hugh
Kelsey, Ron Klinger, Terence Reese
and David Bird, and - since 2000 - Julian
Pottage and Marc Smith.
Crawley started his publishing
career at Faber & Faber in London in
1947, becoming sales director in 1962.
On leaving the company in 1973, he
established the Hyperion imprint
of Ward Lock, where he started the
Master Bridge Series. Subsequently,
Crawley published the bridge list in
association with Victor Gollancz.
Crawley asked Kelsey, a highly
respected bridge writer, player and
critic, to be the editor of the MBS.
The first book in the series, written
by Kelsey, was the " Instant Guide
to Bridge, " published in 1975. Crawley
went on to publish other books
by Kelsey, including the celebrated
" Killing Defence at Bridge, " originally
published by Faber in 1966.
