The Bridge Blue Book

1906 · 172 pages

The Bridge Blue Book (1906) This comprehensive guide to bridge, compiled by Paul F. Mottelay, documents the rules, strategy, and theory of the card game following its recent introduction to England. The book contains a historical account of bridge's emergence at the Portland Club in 1894 and its rapid displacement of whist; a bibliography citing leading authorities and publications on the game; and extensive sections on declarations, doubling, leads, discarding, and scoring conventions. Particular attention is given to leads at no-trumps and trump play, with tabulated combinations demonstrating unblocking strategies and the "Eleven Rule" and "Twelve Rule" for card inference. The volume includes the full text of the American Laws of Bridge (revised to January 1905), descriptions of variant forms including auction bridge, duplicate bridge, and three-handed bridge, a glossary of bridge terminology, and a general index. The work compiles opinions from leading bridge authorities and publications including the Saturday Review, the Field, and Vanity Fair.
