"This is not a book about systems, nor is it a book about conventions (although I confess I shall attempt to persuade you to adopt one or two in the course of it). This is a book about bidding and the places in the auction that we (and I use the word advisedly) go wrong. I don't care whether you prefer to play a weak or a strong notrump, or eight-card majors, or the Purple Spotted Forcing Club. But I do care about how you decide when to bypass a major to bid one notrump, or what constitutes a decent opening bid, and why, and what sequences you regard as forcing. You see what I mean about 'bidding' as opposed to 'system'?"

Praise for earlier titles in the Focus series
"Most intermediate players will find this book extremely useful. This is not a book of exotic plays that never come up."
- The Kibitzer
"The settings are fresh and invigorated by little twists.... a solid combination tutorial and quiz.... scores very well on the bridge-per-dollar scale"
- The Scorecard
"Give your game a painless boost... Delightful use of language.... The book is a steal [at the price]"
- The Bridge World
