Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Auction Bridge Crimes, Vol. 1: A Satirical Arraignment of Twenty Common Faults of Our Partners, With Illustrative Hands Showing the Nature of the Offenses and Their Unfortunate Results, All Carefully Indexed for Quick Reference; Also a Composite Scoring Table and the Latest
Unfortunate, likewise that we can't always have all the clothes we want, wear diamonds, ride in automobiles, and find competent maids whenever our jewels leave!
But somehow matters don't work out that way. It's always the undeserving who get the best things of life; always the poor play ers who hold the best cards. The good fortune of the hopelessly incompetent is for ever amazing and discouraging us; indeed, at cards, we have a maxim about beginner's luck. But those of us who really understand the game have to play for the tricks we win at auction bridge, just as we are requested nay, even urged - to pay for what we eat and wear. It isn't fair, of course, but it's life - fate perhaps.
