Bridge Books

I have a collection of more than 130 books on Bridge.  If any Club member wishes to borrow one just let me (Alan) know. The books range from the light hearted to the very technical, and from excellent to pretty bad (like Gorren's book on Precision Club).  The list that follows is in alphabetical order by the first author's surname.
