The Official ACBL Encyclopedia of Bridge
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 11:30 pm
I bought this book last month and it is a good reference book for you to know more about Bridge in different areas. Unlike other encyclopedia such as <<Britannica>> that is arranged in purely alphabetical order, this book is organized in sections with different topics and it may be a little inconvenient for the reader to search some particular information. Yet, I enjoy reading it sequentially on selective sections. The book includes two CD-ROMs which one of them is the electronic version of the book. With the CD-ROM, readers can overcome the search problem.
The book covers broad areas information instead of in-depth knowledge on a particular topic. If one wants to explore more on a topic, further reading on other books is required. Though, it is the 7th edition that was published in 2011, I can't find any information related to computer Bridge game, not to mention WeWeWeb's Bridge Client!!!! This is one of the few points that I think needs to improve in the coming editions.
If you have much enthusiasm on the game and want to know more about different areas in Bridge, I recommend this one to you.
