Slim and portable, it offers concise summaries of a wide variety of bids and coordinates with Grant's Bridge Basics books. A color-coded Bidding Ladder indicates the meaning of bids, and tabs grant quick access to any of the topics.

Download NowI have purchased several of these booklets and they are very helpful to determine the correct bidding using the Audrey Grant teaching method. This booklet has tabs on the edge to help find what you need in a hurry. It also has a complete summary of each tab on the cover listing each topic inside with the page number. The cover has a bidding ladder that shows you how many points are needed to make game and how many tricks you need to take to make game. Inside there are color codes for each bid that tell you if the bid is forcing, invitational, sign-off, or conventional. I am a retired teacher and am always looking for ways to simplify directions. Audrey Grant is a master at this. It could not be organized better. The tabs and corresponding page numbers are: Opening the Bidding, Responding to one club or one diamond, responding to one heart or one spade, Responding to 1NT and 2NT and opener's rebid, Weak twos and other preemptive bids, Rebids by opener, Rebids by responder, Overcalls and Advances, Takeout doubles and advances, The Competetive Auction, Stayman and Transfers, Artificial 2Club opening and responses, Blackwood, Gerber, and Slam Bidding, Declarer Play, Defense, Glossary, and Scoring. Each tabbed page has a color coded list of how many points needed and how many cards needed for each bid.The page facing the color coded charts has clear concise information on the tabbed topic. It really doesn't get much better than this little booklet. Even though I have played Bridge for many years I still find it indespensible every time I play. Yes, it does come apart at the center fold. I have purchased at least five of them. I laminate them with tape at the center folds and edges. I fisd that easy to do and worth the effort. I have been playing Bridge for about 6 years and we all need to look things up from time to time. There are so many things to remember with this game and it is very challenging. I'd rather look something up than make a mistake. Also, this is Audrey Grant's version, it won't help with Duplicate Bridge or Goren Bridge styles, although there may be some similarities. Audrey Grant Bridge is very commonly used in my area. I taught school for 41 years and know how to present information in an orderly, organized way. I does not get better than this! Audrey Grant also has written several excellent books for beginners to advanced players. Each book has a summary at the end of every chapter and a review quiz. The titles are, Bidding, Play of the Hand, Defense, Commonly Used Conventions, and More Commonly Used Conventions.
