Reviews

Amusing. . . . McPherson attended tournaments and visited clubs, interviewing famous players and collecting fascinating anecdotes. . . . Breezy, absorbing account. - Publishers Weekly

Lively and approachable field guide to the daunting challenges of contract bridge. . . . Alternating extensive gaming history with oddball personality profiles, McPherson’s text underscores the major and minor intricacies of a game known for its “mentally-taxing” complications. His presentation, by contrast, is accessible, chatty and unintimidating. A unique primer. - Kirkus Reviews
