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.
