Hi :)

I seem to remember a thread with recommended bridge literature, but I can't find it. Can anybody help me?
And another thing. Is there anyway I can mark a subject, so that it will be easier for me to find, if I want to read it again? :unsure:

Thanks

Marianne

Hi,

You may have been looking for a post like the following
http://bridgebase.lunarpages.com/~bridge2/...dge+books"

If you use SEARCH to hunt for old post, the default is 30 days. You change that default by changing the time frame in the "SEARCH FROM" field.

You can search all old post by choosing "from the beginning"

To track topics, while the window of the topic is open, click on "TRACK THIS TOPIC". This can be found in the title line underneath the very first post in any topic. If you click that, you can find these topics by clicking on "MY CONTROLS" on the top of almost any screen and then on "subscriptions" ont he left hand side of the window that opens up (you may need to scroll down to see that). I beleive subscriptions will email you when a new post is made, so be sure you ant that (you can try it and see how you like it, you can always unsubscribe).

Hi Ben

why do you not start a FAQ. I think would'nt have to answer the same questions about this forum ever and ever.

Many thanks for your help to all newbies. :unsure:

You get superior information and help by asking Ben rather than reading a FAQ. ;)

I'll also take this opportunity to say THANKS for all your help Ben.

Hi Mamo,
I went to read the thread suggested by Ben, and - much to my surprise - I found nowhere in this list the book "Matchpoints" by Kit Woolsey.

For myself (an intermediate), it has been by far the most illuminating book on hand evaluation (regardless of the form of scoring).

Also, on squeezes, I found much better explained and organized than Love's book the book by Romanet on squeezes "Le squeeze au bridge", but this is easier to understand since european bridge literature is usually less well known than US books (less books are translated in english from non english languages than the number of US books imported in europe).

ciao ! ;)
