This is a How-To series. It could be called "Learning to Play Duplicate Bridge".
I assume you are already a bridge player as you start to read this series. If you aren't, you're in the wrong place.
With the information in this series, you can become a much better, competitive-level bridge player. It will teach you the tools you need to be a tournament level bridge player. It includes all the information you need about bridge clubs, tournaments, protocol, players, scoring, entering a tournament, etc. It includes competitive bidding and defensive play but not declarer play.
It also includes details about a popular duplicate bridge bidding system - Two Over One. There was no book or series like this when I started to play Duplicate. I had to learn all this the hard way, so I wrote this series for new duplicate bridge players.
I'm a Bronze Life Master now, using and teaching the techniques you will find in this series.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

P.S.
(1) I decided to use only 'he' and 'him' and 'his' rather that some weird combination like '(S)he' or 'his/her'.
(2) There are some personal comments sprinkled throughout the book, and they are in italics - like this.
