Inhaltsangabe

Part pop culture, part history, part cookbook--Bridge Table or What's Trump Anyway? tells the story of this classic--and classy--card game and the decades-lasting bridge clubs it has created ever since the 1890s. This story, from a sociable-bridge-playing woman's viewpoint for the first time, is told in 52 short chapters of notes, quotes, anecdotes, comment, menus and recipes, even a few bits of poetry. It is the perfect gift for your bridge-playing friends whether they play sociable or serious bridge.

The American Contract Bridge League Bulletin said: "...wonderful history of contract bridge...makes a great case for why [sociable bridge] deserves new devotees...an unexpectedly fun read." And Marla Paul, author of Friendship Crisis (about the difficulty of making and keeping friends in this transient world) commented: "Now I know what's missing from my life. A weekly game of social bridge...can provide the social glue of life-long friendships."
