One of the best is "Clever Bridge Tricks" by Englishman Brian Senior. It has just been repubiished as a Faber & Faber paperback ($12.45. The Bridge World, 39 West 94th Street, New York, NY 10025-7124). The author deals with situations that occur with reasonable frequency. He keeps the text intelligible and he includes quizzes so you can check that you are getting the idea. This deal from the book features a play that is usually effective at the table.
