Audrey Grant and the American Contract Bridge League have worked together to produce a series of bridge books for new players and experienced players who would like to review the basic and improve their games.
Audrey Grant, a Canadian educator and world famous bridge teacher, calls herself an authority on simplicity. She has an uncanny knack for teaching people to play bridge, the most popular game on the planet.
The American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), with nearly 170,000 members in Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the United States, is the main sanctioning body for organized bridge in North America. It sponsors more than 1,000 bridge tournaments a year and has more than 3,200 affiliated bridge clubs.
Grant, a consultant to the ACBL, has written more than 20 books on bridge. Those most in demand are the five books which make up the ACBL Bridge Series - Bidding (Club Series), Play of the Hand (Diamond Series), Defense (Heart Series), Commonly Used Conventions (Spade Series), and More Commonly Used Conventions (Notrump Series).
Grants passion is teaching. in this series of books, she makes it easy to learn the game of bridge and to improve the knowledge and skills of the reader/ student. Her attitude toward bridge is what sets Grant apart. While many approach the game with the grim seriousness of a brain surgeon, she approaches it with a sense of fun.
ACBL and Audrey Grant have also collaborated on a series of television programs for PBS. Bridge at Sea with Audrey Grant is the fifth show that has been offered to public broadcasting stations.
