Review: Slam Bidding
by Hugh Kelsey was written 40 years ago. It is well written and well
reasoned, but it is very out-of-date and it is based on ACOL rather than
Standard American. It's still somewhat useful, because good bridge
advice is eternal, but it will mostly be of historical interest unless
you want to play one of the conventions it describes (e.g. Byzantine
Blackwood, Culbertson 4-5 NT, Flint cue bids).
About the Author: Hugh Kelsey was a Scottish bridge player and writer. He wrote many bridge books (mostly on play and defense) and two detective novels. He died in 1995.
