Both have had long careers as bridge journalists, and their work has been published in magazines throughout the bridge world as well as in tournament Daily Bulletins at world and national championships.

"Some of the most entertaining bridge books ever published were anthologies. Both Max Hardy and the Granovetters compiled very interesting collections. Going back much further, we have The Fireside Book of Cards, and The Sports Illustrated Book of Bridge, among others. In the early 1990's te Lees founded Canadian Master Point, a national bridge magazine. It drew contributions from all the leading Canadian players. This book highlights more than 50 short articles that originally appeared in that magazine. Somy funny, some serious; almost all entertaining. The grade is an A."
- Ron Garber
"A collection of articles, originally published in Canadian Master Point. The articles are different, some are studious and interesting, others are humorous. But all are worthy. Higly recommended."
- Frank van Wezel, Pegasus Bridge, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
"This is an outstanding collection, with entertainment and thought-provoking articles catering to all interests: play and defense problems, bidding theory, humor, stories about historical figures and places, and even a set of bridge puzzles. There is also an illuminating discussion of probability and restricted choice. Few readers will fail to learn from the discussions of why experts make errors, how to play suit combinations, and helping partner to find a good opening lead."
- The Bridge World
"Worth buying for yourself or as a present to a fellow bridge-player."
- ACBL Bulletin
"Just how good Canadian Master Point magazine was, can be seen from the contents of this book. It's full of entertaining material (and some good hands) and is well worth a look."
