For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game. -

Sullivan/New Mediatrix Publisher’s Foreword Back in the 1980s, while working for Macmillan Publishing, I attended a sales meeting at which a newly discovered, and therefore previously unpublished, work by Ernest Hemingway was announced. Later that evening, I was chatting to the editor who had had the good fortune to work on this manuscript, and couldn’t resist asking him what the experience had been like. ‘Well,’ he replied, ‘he wasn’t a bad writer, you know.’ It has been my good fortune to undertake the bridge equivalent of his experience — to work on editing and publishing a new edition of Victor Mollo’s Bridge in the Menagerie, a book that is included in absolutely everybody’s list of the top ten books ever written on the game of bridge. -
