NSWBA Library Best Books article by Peter Gill ( continued) in Australian Bridge Magazine (the library has a virtually complete set of them available) a few years ago, the late Jim Borin in an interview recommended a Mike Lawrence book as the best bridge book of all time. So I read "Play A Swiss Teams Of Four" and "Play Bridge With Mike Lawrence". Both are great but I can't remember which was the one that Jim recommended. For the experts, Pietro Forquet's "Bridge With The " is a must. A recent addition, donated by Matthew Factor, is the late Alan Truscott's 2005 "The New York Times Bridge Book". This is Truscott's opinionated history of world bridge over the last 80 years, in which Truscott accuses virtually everyone except the Australians of cheating, and explains how they did it. The Austrians, French, whoever, according to Alan they all cheated. Not to everyone's taste but surely the most controversial bridge book of the last few years. being whatever it is, this book received very little publicity. More in Part Two (soon).
