'This book was first published some 30 years ago. In the ad interim bidding methods and styles have changed considerably. However, the wisdom of this book has weathered the years. Ron Klinger has brought the bidding style into the 21st century...the fresh version of the book has still the same sparkle and clarity that was in the original work.' -- Michael Brennan Waterford Munster Express
