David Bird's witty stories about the bridge-playing monks of St. Titus and their obnoxious Abbot have formed the basis of six previous collections, and appear regularly in bridge magazines throughout North America and the UK. This seventh book in the canon is presented in a new quiz format, so that you can try to solve the bridge problems before the monks encounter them. At the end of the book, an annotated Answers section allows you to rate your own game.

David Bird writes two regular newspaper columns in the UK, and his work appears regularly in numerous bridge magazines in the UK and the US. He has written more than forty previous books, including the well-known St.Titus Abbey series. His other books include The Bridge Technique Series with Marc Smith, Bridge Squeezes for Everyone, 25 Bridge Myths Exposed.

Tim Bourke is a regular contributor to Australian Bridge and other magazines, and was coauthor of Tournament Acol with David Bird. He has one of the largest collections of bridge books, magazines and memorabilia in the world. As a player, he has won nine Australian national titles. His other books include Bridge the Silver Way with David Silver, and Countdown to Winning Bridge with Marc Smith.
