Another great book from Ron Klinger

For many people (myself included), Ron Klinger writes the best books on bridge bidding. His 'Guide to Better Bridge' (both Standard American and Acol editions) and 'Beginning Bridge' co-authored with Kambites and husband are outstanding examples of how bidding books should be written: each chapter starts with several clearly stated principles and moves straight into just the right number of self-tests to enable the reader to check their progress.'Five-Card Majors' -- now in its second edition -- is another outstanding volume in the series. Acol players may be a little disturbed that Klinger says here that 5-card majors are clearly better than Acol, when he gives the impression in his Acol books that Acol contains all you need.The book isn't quite comprehensive enough for me: I am still waiting for Ron to give the Two-over-One system of 5-card Majors a thorough treatment, as the Mike Lawrence book on the subject is flawed.But this is still a great book, and a significant improvement on the first edition.
