NOTE: We also have many bridge books in foreign languages, mainly French and Dutch and German. But it will be some time before we compile a list of these books. In the meantime, want lists are always welcome. Also, want lists are welcome on books on other indoor games: Backgammon, Checkers, Chess, Poker and other card games. As well as Hoyle’s and gambling. Also solitaire (patience) and a few books on magic and card tricks.
