This is a fun review to me. As I have thought of making my own ebook and selling things online, it is kind of fun to critique other people’s ebooks. I should mention though that real books are usually cheaper than ebooks. A used copy of Bridge for Dummies is relatively cheap and an out-of-print classic like 5 Weeks to Winning Bridge used to be as low as a penny plus shipping. eBooks can have their place, however, especially if you can’t buy them offline and here are a few on bridge I’ve found.
Dan Berkeley’s Bridge Lessons – This is a good eBook. The sample that is available on the website is very good quality. The thing I worry about is that the website looks old. So maybe he’ll respond to his email, maybe not? Who can tell? But if I wanted to spend the $20 on an ebook, I’d go with this guy. In some ways it’d be better to buy a regular book, but this is the best bridge ebook I’ve seen.
It is very interesting, the bridge courses you can find online. Even though it takes a lot of time to uncover the best ones, it was definitely worth the trouble. They are excellent. The quality of the courses are so good, you may not even need a beginner bridge book.
Bridge World – Learning Center – A very interesting course. It is from *the* bridge magazine. Although it is an introduction only, since it is from a very reputable sources, it has a level of authority on the matter.
For Bridge Players – Bridge Basics – Another interesting find. It seems this is a series of lessons for bridge, put up for anyone to find and use. Especially good in this one is that there are questions and quizzes at the end of each page.
Contract Bridge Course with Michael Furstner – I have saved the best for last. If you are going to use only one online bridge class, this is the one. This is a very extensive 24 lesson source that covers the entire gamut of bridge, including the different systems and types of bridge.
From this series you can see there is plenty of resources out there for people looking to play bridge.
