This section of FifthChair.Org features books that may help
you advance in skill at the game of bridge. All of these sites have
been rated in appropriateness for individual skill level (for instance, a
Viking Club system will probably not be of any interest to a beginner :).
This section will be getting a thorough facelift courtesy of
our new staff reviewer Henry Sun. Please feel free to read about in
this news archive and look forward to his
insight.
Got a book you'd like to see listed on these pages? Use

Our rating system is as follows:
B - Beginners (duh, what's a bid?)
N - Novices (I know just enough to get into serious trouble.)
I - Intermediate (Hooked and getting serious about this game.)
A - Advanced (If you've reached this level, you know it.)
E - Expert (If you've reached this level, your opponents know it.)
P - Professional (If you've reached this level, the bridge world knows
it.)
