the bridge bum is on everybody's list of the top ten bridge books ever written, and it's not hard to see why. It has everything: history; stories about the great players; Sontag's own fascinating hands: cheating, hustling, gambling; the glamor and grind of the bridge professional's life; and most of all the game itself, which Alan Sontag describes with such vigor and eloquence it's easy to understand why he loves it so much. This new edition brings back to life a classic that has been out of print for twenty years. It's revised and updated with new storeis, new insights and perspectives, and the drama of Sontag's first world title win over the Itlaians in one of the closest matches of all time.
