Help
I would suggest you try the lessons on BBO by oliverc. I am not sure whether or not they are still ongoing. It would be better to go into them when he restarts the series.

Some of the earliest systems were club sysems (e.g. Harry Vanderbilt, Howard Shenken). In the 1960s, we played a precurser of Precision called Nottingham Club (16+ HCP 1♣; 10-15 HCP "loose" 1♦; 10-15 HCP 5+ card majors; 13-15 HCP flat 1N ....). We added our own asking bid system, long before the Blue-team grafted a superior version onto C C Wei's Precision.
Nowadays, with several partners, I enjoy playing basic Precision, straight from Barry Rigal's "Precision in the 90s". Like other Precision books it's a bit heavy. That's a pity because Precision is a simple fun system, ideal for beginners. Terence Reese's "Precision Bidding and Precision Play" is the fastest and most exciting introduction by far.
