We would like to present a list of all published Bridge Books, and would like to make this list as comprehensive as possible. There are many bridge authors who have contributed to the learning of the game, and we would like to recognize them with our efforts. We also realize that many bridge book authors have published other books on different subjects, but we have not included these titles. We have also attempted to include as many international authors as possible. If a certain book is not listed, please notify us, and we shall include it. We need your help in compiling this list, because you, the reader and visitor, are our best asset and source.
The authors have been listed alphabetically.
The dates given are an uncertain factor since many bridge books have been re-edited, re-named, re-worked, re-published, re-printed, and re-issued. We have not added a link to a Website, where you may order a particular book. There are several Internet addresses where you can order a particular book. Following are some helpful hints:
We have also given credit to those bridge players who are not the author, but have co-authored, contributed to, edited or illustrated the bridge book before the publishing date. We have tried to give credit to those ladies who have published bridge books before their marriage, and afterwards changing their last names. It must be noted that some of the bridge books are no longer printed, or are being reprinted, and are not available at this time. It is also possible that some bridge books, which are being edited for re-publication, are listed as not available. We can not be certain that a bridge book is out of print. Please be sure to check.
ISBN: This is a unique machine-readable 10-digit identification number, which marks any book unmistakably, and over 160 countries and territories are officially ISBN members. This system of cataloging has been in effect since the early 1970s and earlier publications, unless reprinted, do not always carry such an ISBN number. Books published in countries not bound by the ISBN number are also included.
Every ISBN will consist of thirteen digits beginning 2007. The thirteen digit number is divided into five parts of variable length, each part separated by a hyphen.
The ISBN identification number is also unique to the Publishing House. Therefore, books by authors who have their works published by other publishing houses carry a different ISBN identification number. The ISBN identification number is therefore also a means employed to identify the individual publishing house. As a consequence, the included ISBN identification number is the number used by the specified Publishing Company, not for all publications and reprints of the book.
EAN.UCC: As of January 1, 2007, the book industry has begun using 13-digit ISBNs to identify all books in supply chain. Two new prefixes are being created. The 978 prefix will be added in front of the current ISBN-10 and with the addition of a new check digit at the end, the new ISBN-13 is created. This change is taking place to fully align the numbering system for books with the global EAN.UCC identification system that is widely used to identify most other consumer goods worldwide.
ISSN: The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is an eight-digit number which identifies all periodical publications as such, including electronic serials. Each ISSN assigned to a serial publication is registered in an international database: the ISSN Register. It is the most comprehensive and authoritative source for the identification of serial publications world-wide. It is managed by a world wide network of 81 National Centres coordinated by an International Centre based in Paris, backed by Unesco and the French Government. The ISSN is used by various partners throughout the information chain: libraries, subscription agents, researchers, information scientists, newsagents (through its barcode version).
LC: An LC included in the description is the LC Control Number which is the identification number for indexing and cataloging by the Library of Congress.
ASIN: The Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) is a product identification number used by Amazon.com. Despite the name, it is not a "standard" in any real sense, and is valid only for referring to products within the Amazon.com network of sites. Also known as: Amazon Standard Item Number. This indentification number may be the identical number as the corresponding ISBN number or other cataloging numbers.
OCLC: Founded in 1967, OCLC Online Computer Library Center is a nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization dedicated to the public purposes of furthering access to the world's information and reducing information costs. More than 41,555 libraries in 112 countries and territories around the world use OCLC services to locate, acquire, catalog, lend and preserve library materials.

Whenever possible, we have included a link to a picture of the front cover of the respective book.
We have attempted to construct these pages with the least amount of inconvenience to the visitor. If, however, the first letters of the surnames of the authors do not match and are on different web pages, then the "back button" may take the visitor to the wrong section. Apologies in advance for this inconvenience but we have found no other solution.

Adamczyk, Wesley - (Wesley Adamczyk)
When God Looked The Other Way, 2004, Foreword by Norman Davies, Publisher: University Of Chicago Press, ISBN-10: 0226004430 / ISBN-13: 978-0226004433
Note: Mr. Wesley Adamczyk is a retired chemist and tax consultant who lives in the state of Illinois, United Sates. He is also a champion bridge player. This publication is a memoir of a boyhood lived in unspeakable circumstances, a book that not only illuminates one of the darkest periods of European history but also traces the loss of innocence and the fight against despair that took root in one young boy. It is also a book that offers a stark picture of the unforgiving nature of Communism and its champions. Unflinching and poignant, this book will stand as a testament to the trials of a family during wartime and an intimate chronicle of episodes yet to receive their historical due.

Bridge Calendars - The attempt has been made in the publishing world to publish a bridge calendar each year for the benefit of the bridge community. The contributors for such calendars have been various and many. However, the actual authorship remains sometimes undetermined. Mr. Phillip Alder has been instrumental in keeping this project alive and this list is therefore under his name. If the various authors can be determined, who have made contributions, then these names are included as soon as discovered. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

American Mercury - The American Mercury
Source: The American Mercury, in A History of American Magazines: Volume 5: Sketches of 21 Magazines, 1905-1930, Harvard University Press, 1968, pp. 3-26. Quote: The American Mercury was an influential journal of opinion and literature that debuted in January 1924 and gained a wide audience under the editorial control of its cofounders, George Jean Nathan and H. L. Mencken. Known for the caustic satire of its editorial essays, the monthly review created a sensation among intellectual circles during the 1920s, with its debunking of such cultural icons as Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman and its mixture of fiction, literary criticism, political analysis, and cultural comment. Counting such authors as Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Boyd, William Faulkner, Sinclair Lewis, and Eugene O'Neill among its contributors, the American Mercury reached the height of its popularity in the mid to late 1920s, when its circulation numbered more than 75,000 per month.
The publication ceased printing in 1981. Many articles about the game of bridge were written for publication in this periodical, among which was an article written by Mr. F. Dudley Coub in 1950 titled Debunking The Game Of Bridge, page 46.
American Whist Congress
The AWC, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, was in progress from 1891 and published eight volumes about the game. The organization was renamed later as The American Whist League and enjoyed much popularity in the United States and the United Kingdom. Many publications of the American Whist League, too many to be listed, were published by this head organization. After changes to the scoring methods were made the name of the game in 1925-1927 also changed. Auction Bridge and Duplicate Bridge became dominant and, to a large degree, threatened the existence of the American Whist League. Once these changes were made and accepted by the majority of the American players, the American Whist League faded into history around the early 1940s. It is not known whether this organization was officially dissolved. These publications are a matter of history and many authors of many publications were involved.

Andersson, Ivar (Miscellaneous Spelling: ivar andersson, anderson, ifar antersson, nadersson, andresson, ivarandersson , adersson, anersson, andrsson, andesson, anderssn)
Note: Sweden's Ivar Andersson collected hundreds of problems during the first half of the twentieth century and in fact contributed all of the 201 double dummy problems appearing in George Sturgis Coffin's 'Sure Tricks' published 1948. These 201 double dummy problems include several ingenious miniatures composed by himself. It has been reported that Ivar Andersson did not faithfully record the authorship of all the problems in his collection. Similar to George Sturgis Coffin, the designation is 'by Ivar Andersson' for problems actually composed by him, and 'from Ivar Andersson' for those he collected, whose composers must alas remain as anonymous as they were when George Sturgis Coffin published these problems in 1948.

Anonymous Bridge Authors: There have been many publications sold and presented to the reader, who must discover that the author has intentionally not acknowledged the work, or the authors are so many that to state one author is impossible. It is also possible that the publication has been out of print for such a long time that the author cannot be determined since the the relevant pages of the remaining copies are missing. There were many publications in the latter years of the 19th century and in the early years of the 20th century, for which the author did not wish his/her name known and employed a pseudonym or simply did not sign the book or publication. For what ever reason there are many bridge books without author, sometimes without dates of publications, and without any code or identification number.
These books and publications have been included and presented for the benefit of the librarian. These books are listed on a separate web page for easier viewing. If any knowledge of any of these publications is or becomes known to the reader, please take the moment and contribute this information. It will be always gratefully appreciated.

Auction Bridge and Mah Jong Magazine
Auction Bridge and Mah Jong Magazine - July 1924
Auction Bridge and Mah Jongg Magazine - August 1924
Auction Bridge and Mah Jongg Magazine - September 1924
First Publication: The Auction Bridge and Mah Jong Magazine was published from February 1924 to September 1924. The name of the magazine was changed to Auction Bridge and Mah-Jongg Magazine beginning with the August, 1924 issue. The reader will notice the different spelling of the word 'Jong' and 'Jongg'. The correct spelling was never determined and several verisons were employed. However, beginning October 1924 the publication was designated only as Auction Bridge, and the Mah-Jongg part was deleted.
Advertisement: New York Times, Current Magazines, February 3, 1924, p. BR20

Austin, Anne - (1895 - )
Murder at Bridge, Note: the book has been published many times with different covers since its original publishing in the year 1931, which makes it perhaps the first publication to include the game of bridge, not whist or auction bridge.

This is a murder mystery novel and the game of bridge is included, although it does not provide any clues as to the solution. Excerpt in .pdf file format available on the Internet as a contribution of The Project Gutenberg eBook. Link. This .pdf file has only been archived and preserved on this site for future reference.
Note: This publication is also available as an Audio Book on the Internet at LibriVox. A synopsis of the book is that the inhabitants of the small town of Hamilton joke that they are afraid of being the dummy when playing Bridge, for fear of being murdered. Meanwhile, Special Investigator Bonnie Dundee demands a re-enactment of the death hand to try and find out why, and how, the victim was killed during a high society bridge party.

Badsworth - (Pseudonym: Allen Lyndsay Lister and also known as Boaz. - Source: Bibliographies of Works on Playing Cards And Gaming by Norton T. Horr, ii, #62, 1905, Published by Longmans, Green and Co., London, England
See: Lister, Allen Lyndsay
Also, from an article in The New York Times, dated August 13, 1904, Saturday, under the heading ABOUT AUTHORS: What Some of Them Are Saying, Writing, or Planning, the following paragraph was published: "It is now an open secret that the author of Badsworth on Bridge, The Laws and Principles of Bridge, etc., and whose new book, A Defence of Bridge is to be brought out in September by G.P. Putnam's Son's, is A. Lindsay Lister. He is a well-known authority on the game, and in his new book he has reprinted letters in which he defends the purpose, character, and influence of bridge."
Note: Certain geneology-devoted websites and publications have the following reference regarding the names of Badsworth:
Under the Name of Michael Lister of Frierhead-in-Craven (died c1610) the name of John Pate Lister appears, later Nevile of Badsworth and Holbeck (born 03.03.1734, died 16.12.1817), with the side-note of Cavendish Nevile (dvp 04.12.1892, 4th son).
Note: Badsworth is a village and civil parish in the City of Wakefield metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England.
Note: The following single publication is included under this entry for Badsworth owing to the dedication listed in the publication under How To Play Bridge, which was 'To Lord Brougham and Vaux', Who Brought "Bridge" to England.
The first Baron Brougham and Vaux was Henry Brougham, born 1778 and died in May 1868 in Cannes, France, at the age of 89 years.
The second Baron Brougham and Vaux was William Brougham, born 1795 and died 1886.
The dedication of Badsworth is for the second Baron Brougham and Vaux.
The third Baron Brougham and Vaux was Heny Charles Brougham, born 1836 and died 1927.
The fourth Baron Brougham and Vaux was Victor Henry Peter Brougham, born 1909 and died 1967.
The fifth Baron Brougham and Vaux is Michael John Brougham, born 1938.

Note: The picture is of the publication's Sixth Edition printed in 1899. The title of this publication indicates or allows the conclusion that Boaz and Badsworth are two authors. The source for these two pictures is the digitlized version by Google, which sub-heads the copy with By Boaz, pseud. van Allan Lindsay Lister Badsworth, pseud Boaz, "Badsworth".

Baily's Magazine Of Sports And Pastimes - Bridge Articles in .pdf file format
This was a magazine published by Vinton And Company, Ltd., at 9 New Bridge Street, Ludgate Circus , London, England. The magazine was created in the early 1800s, the Volume IV for the years 1832 - 1833 is possibly the earliest still on record and April 2008 auctioned by eBid of London, England. This information, if accurate, places the beginning of the magazine in the mid-1920s. This information, gleened from the Internet, is in contrast to the information available at the Library of Congress, which states that the magazine began in 1889, and ceased with: No. 796 (June 1926). LC: 30016526.
We present Volume LXXV, from the year 1901, month of January. The first image is of the Front Cover and the second image is of the Inside Cover, and a story which accompanies the picture.
This magazine is include owing to the fact that the United Kingdom recognized, even at that time, that the game of Whist, and all other forms, which followed, include the game of bridge, was indeed a sport. For this reason the Baily's Magazine contained during its publication period several articles about the game of bridge.
In addition to the Bridge Articles presented in the .pdf file, the following articles also appeared in the Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes:

Barrett, Mary Ellin - (Mary Ellin Barrett)
Note: Mary Ellin Barrett was the oldest, or first-born daughter of the American composer Mr. Irving Berlin. She was born on November 25, 1926, and spent her years in New York Ctiy. The attended the Brearley School, which is an all-girl private school in New York City, New York, United States. The school is located on the Upper East Side of the Manhattan borough of New York City. Afterwards she attended the Barnard College, which is a women's liberal arts college and a member of the Seven Sisters. Founded in 1889, Barnard College is affiliated with Columbia University. She majored in music, but after graduating from Barnard College she commenced working for Time Magazine as a researcher, and at which company she met her future husband, Mr. Marvin Barrett. Mary Ellin Barrett later became the book critic for Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Mary Ellin Barrett is also a published author and her books are Castle Ugly, 1966, An Accident of Love, 1973, and American Beauty, 1981. She is also the author of Irving Berlin: a Daughter's Memoir. She also composed and authored various magazine articles about the influcence of the evolving game of bridge upon the American society, its almost addictive power owing to the fact that the game itself allowed all players, from whatever class or standing in society, to seem, pretend, and assume to be equal, thereby deconstructing the financial barriers, which separated greatly the high society from the working class. One of her authored articles, which she titled The Bridge Table, became a reference to and for all following studies about this particular era in American history.

Brastoff, Sascha (1918 - 1993) - Born: Samuel Brostofsky in Cleveland, Ohio.
Sascha Brastoff manufactured decorative accessories, ceramics, enamels on copper, and plastics of his own design. He headed a factory, named Sascha Brastoff Ceramics Factory, of California, Inc., in West Los Angeles, from 1953 until about 1973. He died in 1993. The ACBL commissioned Souvenir Bowls for the ACBL Fall Nationals in 1965.
The Sascha Brastoff ceramics factory produced a wide range of products including vases, lamps, smoking accessories figurines, dinnerware, and giftware. The most desirable pieces are those with the full "Sascha Brastoff" signature, because they indicate that Brastoff personally designed and painted those pieces. Those signed "Sascha B" were produced either by decorators under his supervision using his designs, or by Brastoff himself.

Founded in 1929 by Ely Culbertson, The Bridge World is the world's oldest continuously published bridge magazine. For over 70 years the world's brightest bridge minds have gathered each month to share their winning secrets in its pages. Every monthly issue of The Bridge World is packed with reports, articles, stories, tips, examples, quizzes, and more to help advancing bridge players improve their understanding and appreciation of the game. Virtually every important bridge analyst in the history of the game has contributed to The Bridge World. The Bridge World is geared toward serious bridge players who wish to improve their game. It is an invaluable learning resource for players on the intermediate level and up. Many subscribers begin reading the magazine at an intermediate level, and as they learn from reading the magazine, they progress and understand more and more of each issue, and then return to the old issues to reread them. For over 70 years, The Bridge World has maintained its reputation as the most respected bridge magazine by the world's expert players. Each issue now also features Bridgeworks, a section designed to help players understand and win more by stressing common sense and useful thought patterns, as opposed to memorization and complex rules. It is designed to help improve your game by improving your 'bridge thinking', not rote learning.

Brittain, Thomas (1806 - 1884)
Short Summary: Mr. Thomas Brittain died at his residence, at Urmston, on January 23. He was a native of Sheffield, where he was born in 1806. Although the greater part of his life was passed in active business, yet he was for many years a prominent member of the Manchester Mechanics' Institution, the Field Naturalists' Society, and other societies of a literary or scientific character. He was, for one term, president of the Microscopical Society, and upon his retirement from that body an address, signed by 120 members, was presented to him in recognition of his services in the promotion of microscopical study. On the formation of the Crypotgamic Society he became one of its vice-presidents. For two years he was a town councillor of Manchester. He also took a leading part in the erection of the Aquarium near Alexandra Park. He was one of the oldest members of the Manchester Chess Club, and in 1882 he published a small book entitled Whist: How to Play and How to Win, and another on Micro-Fungi.

A Short History of the Nottingham Contract Bridge Association
The Club history was documented in 1987 by Dr. Les Euinton for an article featured in the International Popular Bridge Monthly, written to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Nottinghamshire Contract Bridge Association. Extracts of the article appear here by his kind permission.
Nottingham Contract Bridge Association has a long history, perhaps the oldest in the country? It has its origins in 2 clubs. The Crantock Bridge Club and The Nottingham Bridge Club which was in full swing by 1929. In the early 1930s it was located on the Lower Derby Road, but then it moved to Pelham Road then to 401 Mansfield Road - its current home - under the proprietorship of Jack Hammond. The Crantock Bridge Club at 480 Mansfield Road was founded in the early 30s by Mr. and Mrs. Guy Hemsley.
While Reese, Harrison-Gray and many household names were developing Acol in Hampstead, Nottingham players were concentrating on their own 'Nottingham Club' system. Notable amongst the early advocates were Daphne Kieuser and Harold Denman and over the years many more features and variations were introduced. Margery Burns' original book The Nottingham System of Contract Bridge was eventually published in 1954 and rumour has it that a copy of this text eventually found its way into C. C. Wei's possession and helped to spark off the Precision Club boom.
With the EBU's (founded in 1938) historical Acol bias, it is not surprising that there has long been a certain protectiveness of club systems in Nottingham. In the late 1960s Jim Thompson led a concerted effort to persuade the EBU to allow us to play the Neapolitan Club in major events such as the Gold Cup. At an interview with the Rules and Ethics Committee we made the point that in principle it compared with the Nottingham Club, but the response was 'if we had our way we would ban that too!' More recently, the Club systems have become less popular locally, and most members now play Acol.
The Club and the Notts County Association have always worked closely together, with the County holding most of its meetings at our Club. The County Association formally suspended its activities on the 11th of September 1939 and it successfully anticipated the cessation of hostilities by resuming in January 1945 - when treasurer Denman was pleased to report that the pre-war funds had been invested in War Savings and now amounted to £13-16s-10d!
The Nottinghamshire Contract Bridge Association reached its 50th birthday on March 24th, 1987. Celebrations were delayed until the enlargement and refurbishment of its present home with at the Nottingham Bridge Club were completed. By the Annual General Meeting in May an attractive bronze plaque was prominently mounted, accompanied by a formal scroll which read:

March 24th 1937 - March 24th 1987

Excerpt from The Whist Reference Book: 'Catherine the Great, legendary among ferocious tyrants, was also a devoted whist player (like many other of the crowned heads of Europe). According to William Mill Butler's "Whist Reference Book," the best and the definitive book on the subject, Catherine one day rang for a page who was at a critical stage of whist game in the anteroom and couldn't tear himself away. Catherine rang again, and still receiving no answer, she stormed off to wreck vengeance upon the luckless servant. Apparently her anger gave way to sympathy (which she was rarely guilty of) when she found what had delayed him. Rather than having him sent to Siberia, she sent the man on his errand and played the hand for him until his return.'

Caldecott, Randolph - (1846 - 1886 LC)
Mr. Randolph Caldecott was an Illustrator by trade and by profession, who died at an early age. His pictures adorn many publications of the time and covered many different features of the society during his life time. He was also an avid Whist player and created several humourous and witty sketches andpaitings for the amusement and adornment of other publications. He is also remembered with the Caldecott Medal, which is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children published that year. It was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Mr. Randolph Caldecott. Together with the Newbery Medal it is the most prestigious American children's book prize. The Caldecott Medal was designed by Rene Paul Chambellan in 1937.
Many of his prints, paintings, sketches were made public after his untimely death. They appeared in many publications authored by others as a commemoration.
The portrait picture of Mr. Randolph Caldecott is from a publication, which commemorated the life, the works, and the career of Mr. Randolph Caldecott, namely The Complete Collection of Randolph Caldecott's Contributions from the Graphic, published 1888, two years after his death in 1886. The print is one of 1250 limited edition copies made for this publication.

Several theories are circulated but none can prove its correctness beyond a shadow of a doubt. See for example the 1999 December issue of Magic (page 67) for more details. Was it E. S. Andrews or W.

Carlyon, Edward Augustus - (1834 - 1874)
(Note: This entry is dubious owing to pseudonym of Coelebs, which remains unknown. In several editions the name is Thomas Tristrem Spry Carlyon, who was appointed on February 6, in the county of Cornwall, Esq., Sheriff of the County of Cornwall. This according to The Gentleman's Magazine, page 360, High Sheriffs For 1862 At the Court at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, the 5th day of February, 1862, Present, the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.)
(Note: The employment of the designation of Coelebs is rather uninformative, since the designation itself is used in the name of Fringilla coelebs, meaning a small European finch with a cheerful song.)
(Note: Perhaps the more accurate translation is that the designation caelibs, Latin with the two vowels of 'a' and 'e', as æ, written together, and which means unmarried, single, or celibate. The strong suggestion is that the person in question was widowed and borrowed the Latin terminology as his literary pseudonym. The entry in bibliographical works, which write the name as Coelebs, with an oe, may have inaccurately entered the name. Nonetheless, the identical information is contained with both spellings in different publications. However, this does not explain the differences in the given names.

Challenge Bridge - A Duplicate Bridge Diversion
Note: Challenge Bridge is a system designed to allow bridge players to play the same hands that were used in American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) tournaments. The game includes the results from the tournaments so players can rank their play against that of the championship level players.
The key to the system is the computerized deal cards. The deck of cards that comes with the game is marked. There is a pattern of markings on the back of each card. When the cards are placed in the card selector along with a deal card only one marking will be visible through the deal card. This indicates which player that card should be dealt to. There are 100 deal cards included with the game and discussions of the 100 bridge hands in the manual, which also includes commentary by bridge expert Oswald Jacoby.

Collinson, John - (November 7, 1842 - April 21, 1922)
Biritch, Or Russian Whist, 1886, ( Inside Cover Page), Publisher: privately published, Source: Bibliographies of Works on Playing Cards And Gaming by Norton T. Horr, 1905, Published by Longmans, Green and Co., London, England - Notation included: No place of printing or publication mentioned; apparently the first printed description in English of the Game of Bridge.
Note: A transcription, by Mr. Mark Brader, of this booklet is available also in .pdf file format. The catalogue of the Bodleian Library at Oxford University, which holds what is probably the only existing copy, attributes the booklet to writer to a certain J. Collinson, although the the rather miniature publication itself indicates in no fashion the name of the author. The library's date stamp on their copy reads 23 OCT 86 (meaning 1886).
Note: The document does not have any of the physical forms, that is used by publishing houses of today. The publication itself is, in reality, a miniature bound book, and contains only 56 pages ( or 28 sheets) of paper approximately 3" by 5" in size between still rather well-preserved hard covers. These hard covers are plain brown with no visible or discernible writing. The spine is covered with the library's tape, and on which the previous librarians have noted the title, a catalog number, and the date of 1886. It is the most interesting fact that the publication of only 56 pages, that only four pages have anything printed on them, with the first two pages and the last fifty pages are blank with no indication of any imprint by a publisher or publishing house. This is most likely, as theorized, for the entry of additional notes by the author, who published, or had published, the book privately.
Note: Not much is known about a J. Collinson, but some details about his life can be found in the article First Steps of Bridge in the West: Collinson's 'Biritch' by Mr. Thierry Depaulis and in The Playing-Card, Volume 32, Number 2 by Mr. Jac Fuchs.
In the publication by Mr. Thierry Depaulis, he states: The main evidence comes from a small booklet called Biritch or Russian Whist, written by one John Collinson and printed in London in 1886. A research showed that this man had been to Turkey in 1880-84 and that it was in Constantinople that he learned the game. This Biritch is Bridge in its earlier form that spread to Western Europe from ca. 1890 and became quite fashionable in Paris and London (and also in New York in the mid-1890s). I have published an article on this booklet with my Dutch friend Jac Fuchs (“First Steps of Bridge in the West: Collinson’s ‘Biritch’”, in: The Playing-Card, vol. 32, no. 2, Sept.-Oct. 2003, pp. 67-76). As early as the late 19th century the first bridge manuals (starting from 1895) had a “historical” that pointed out to “Turkey” as a place of origin for the game. As time passed more and more testimonies - some of them very detailed - were published here and there. In my 1997 book (Histoire du Bridge) I had a full chapter on this.

Cornhill Magazine, The
This magazine was a Victorian magazine and literary journal named after Cornhill, a street in London. The Cornhill Magazine was founded by Mr. George Murray Smith in 1860 and was published until 1975. It was a literary journal with a selection of articles on diverse subjects and serialisations of new novels. The sale of the magazine, at a shilling, exceeded all expectations, and the first number sold 110,000 copies - a degree of success staggering by modern day standards. Especially under Leslie Stephen, who took charge in 1871, the The Cornhill Magazine maintained a remarkable level of literary distinction.
Among other Whist players and authors the following contributed to The Cornhill Magazine:

Crabbe, George (1754 - 1832)
See: Poem Corner - The Village: Book I, Line 313 or the following presentation:
But ere his death some pious doubts arise,
Some simple fears, which "bold bad" men despise;
Fain would he ask the parish-priest to prove
His title certain to the joys above:
For this he sends the murmuring nurse, who calls
The holy stranger to these dismal walls:
And doth not he, the pious man, appear,
He, "passing rich with forty pounds a year"?
Ah! no; a shepherd of a different stock,
And far unlike him, feeds this little flock:
A jovial youth, who thinks his Sunday's task
As much as God or man can fairly ask;
The rest he gives to loves and labours light,
To fields the morning, and to feasts the night;
None better skill'd the noisy pack to guide,
To urge their chase, to cheer them or to chide;
A sportsman keen, he shoots through half the day,
And, skill'd at whist, devotes the night to play:
Then, while such honours bloom around his head,
Shall he sit sadly by the sick man's bed,
To raise the hope he feels not, or with zeal
To combat fears that e'en the pious feel?

“The modern miracle – the woman who can play on even terms with the best men” was the second woman elected to the Bridge Hall of Fame.
Josephine Culbertson (1899 – 1956) was the first woman to achieve championship caliber and, as such, helped to pave the way for Helen Sobel, Sally Young and others.
As a member of The Bridge World team, with Waldemar von Zedtwitz as her partner and later Michael Gottlieb and Albert Morehead, she won national and international championships including the Schwab Cup in 1933 and 1934,
With husband Ely, she played many high-stakes set games, won international matches in England and France , and achieved national fame in the Culbertson-Lenz match.Ely Culbertson, in his autobiography the Strange Lives of one Man , described his meeting Jo at the Knickerbocker Whist club in New York . “I couldn't help noticing,” he wrote, “that she stood out among the many attractive women present as if she were alone.
“Not that there was anything immediately arresting about her. But the ensemble of her gestures, speech and features, like the ensemble of her clothes, indefinably suggested a distinct and yet restrained personality.
“She was extraordinarily young for a bridge teacher and for her reputation as America 's greatest woman player – not over 22. She was decidedly attractive, at times beautiful; tall, slender, with large Irish eyes, a slightly retroussé nose and a most winning smile.
“I was particularly impressed with her hands – long, narrow, alive with suppressed feeling. Her gestures were smoothly slow, controlled by thought rather than impulse.”
After the two had played bridge together for the first time, Ely Culbertson wrote that Jo had “a man's mind – and something else more precious; something so rare that only one in a thousand women is endowed with it: Charm . It emanated in tranquil waves from the attitudes of her heart, that angle of her thoughts, her pregnant silences, the dignity of her movements, the shyness of her voice, the structure of her smile.”
Culbertson, in a later chapter quotes an old Western gamble who had just played the couple. Mrs. Culbertson,” the gambler said, “I apologize for thinking that women are not as good players as men. You and your husband have not only given me the licking of my life, but you yourself are the finest bridge player I have ever seen.”
Years later, Alphonse Moyse Jr., who succeeded Ely Culbertson as editor and publisher of The Bridge World , wrote Jo's obituary and recalled her early years in bridge:
“Jo Culbertson carved a unique niche for herself among men who theretofore had not taken kindly to the idea of playing with women. . .
“She endeared herself by neither demanding nor expecting gallantry: she met these men on even terms, fought them fiercely at the card table and won her full share of victories.
“It was like that throughout her bridge career. And, of course, since she despised coyness and all feminine subterfuges, she gained the deep respect and affection of every partner and every opponent.”
Moyse concluded: “I knew Jo Culberston for 23 years. I was with her through good times and sad times.
“Not once in those 23 years did I see or hear of any act of hers that was mean or small or unkind.
“I can still hear her lovely laughter.”

Dell Publishing Comany
The company Dell Publishing was an American publisher of books, magazines, and comic books. It was founded in 1921 by Mr. George T. Delacorte Jr.. During the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, Dell Publishing was one of the largest publishers of magazines, including pulp magazines. From 1929 to 1974, the company published comic books under the Dell Comics line, the bulk of which, between 1938 and 1962, was done in partnership with Western Publishing. In 1943, Dell Publishing entered into paperback book publishing with Dell Paperbacks. The company also used the book imprint of Dial Press, Delacorte Books, Yearling Books, and Laurel Leaf Library. Dell Publishing no longer exists as an independent entity. The company was purchased and is presently, 2008, part of the Bantam Dell Publishing Group of Random House, which also uses some of Dell's other imprints mentioned above. Dell Magazines still exists as a major publisher of puzzle magazines, publishing science fiction, mystery, and horoscope magazines.

Dick, William Brisbane - (1827 - 1901) - (aka Pseudonym Trumps)
Note: All references have: Source: Bibliographies of Works on Playing Cards And Gaming by Norton T. Horr, 1905, Published by Longmans, Green and Co., London, England
Note: As far as can be determined from old records, William Brisbane Dick and Lawrence R. Fitzgerald, prior to 1858, were employed by the publishing house of Garrett & Co., owned solely by Mr. Ransom Garrett. In the year of 1858 this publishing house was purchased by these two gentlemen, business partners, and long-term companions. Henceforth the name of the publishing house was known as 'Dick and Fitzgerald', which continued the tradition of their former employer in publishing books for home and parlor entertainment, among which were many books on the subject of the new and modern game of Whist. William Brisbane Dick was the author of several popular books on this subject. As William Brisbane Dick died in 1901, it can only be assumed presently that the publishing house was renamed.
Note: William Brisbane William became an author of popularity with his publication 'The American Hoyle or Gentleman's Hand-Book of Games', which was reprinted in many editions. The Tenth Edition contained an updated version with carefully revised and numerous corrections and additions. The Thirteenth Edition was entirely rewritten in conformity with the latest usages. The Seventeenth Edition had a wide circulation in Europe as well as in America. It is also printed with a title, 'Hoyle's Games'.

Note: Mathematics Magazine origin: the journal originally began in 1926 as a series of pamphlets to encourage membership in the Louisiana-Mississipi Section of the Mathematical Association of America, and soon evolved into the regional publication Mathematics News Letter. Beginning in 1935, the journal was published with the help of Louisiana State University and, as it began addressing larger issues in teaching math, was renamed National Mathematics Magazine. In 1947, the journal's title was shortened to Mathematics Magazine, and in 1960 it became an official publication of the Mathematical Association of America. Mathematics Magazine is published five times per year.

Morotsklovern, 1978, Publisher / Förlag: Svenska Bridgeförlaget, ISBN-13: 918502452X / ISBN-13: 9789185024520
Inför Europamästerskapen i Aten 1971 utvecklade Anders Morath och jag den första versionen av det budsystem som idag går under namnet Morotsklövern eller Carrot Club. De krav vi ställde på vårt nya systemet var en kombination av aggresiv, naturlig budgivning och artificiella, precisa metoder. Budgivningen efter de naturliga 1-öppningarna är också starkt Acol-inspirerad medan vi i systemet i övrigt lånat metoder från Blå Klöver, Precision och Rom-klöver. Tillämpningen av metoderna och kompletterande detaljer har vi dock huvudsakligen utvecklat själva.
Under de sex år som systemet hittills varit i bruk, har flera konventioner och metoder utgått, medan andra kommit till. I samarbete med Hans Göthe, P. O, Sundelin och Tommy Gullberg utvecklar vi systemet vidare enligt principen att stagnation innebär tillbakagång i en allt mer hårdnande konkurrens.
I sin nuvarande form är Morotsklövern ett så pass genomarbetat och stabilt system, att vi tycker det kan vara dags att publicera det i bokform. Det har visat sig hålla i praktisk bridge.
