Can anyone compare Romanet to Kelsey on their squeeze books.

Is it worthwhile to seek French to English translation of Romanet? ?

Not just for play, but as a reference too. I mean not to exclude rare just because they don't occur. Still want to see them.

Romanet is very theoretical, but's got a lot of info. I haven't read Kelsey, but I can imagine it's a more practical book.

Romanet book on all the squeeze is the best book i have read. It was in french & it was close to 500 pages. I suppose there is a lot of shorter version of the book. I dont recall the exact title. But try to find the biggest romanet book on squeeze and you will be very satisfied.

Is Romanet worth learning French for?

maybe not, but its worth buying/checking the the books just for the problems.

Le Squeeze au Bridge Tome I: Le Squeeze Simple, 1977
Le Squeeze au Bridge Tome II: Le Double Squeeze, 1978
Le Squeeze au Bridge Tome III: Squeeze A L'Atout Squeeze A Retardement La Desqueesification, 1978.

I think these are close or the same book ive read since they add up to 450 pages. Just the section on how to break a squeeze is worth the price of the book.

Putting them in 3 tomes make sense since an average player will have no use for the 3rd book and an accomplished player can bypass the first book.
