Life's tough being an ace.'
On everyone's list of all-time favorite bridge books is Right
Through the Pack by Robert Darvas and Norman Hart.
Published just after the end of World War II, the book presents
52 tales using exquisite deals, one for each of the cards in
the deck. Now, decades later, Julian Pottage has collected 104
deals - two for each card in the pack. He presents each story
through the eyes of the cards, paying homage to Darvas and
Hart. Keeping the intermediate bridge player in mind, Pottage
takes extra care to have the cards educate while entertaining
the reader.
"The deals are excellent and the setting pleasantly
reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland."
