Reese on Play — An Introduction to Good Bridge 

This book provides a comprehensive introduction on playing bridge. Chapter I stands on it’s own — a sentinel whose watch-word is that all good play depends on forming a picture of the unseen hands. The rest of Part I and II contain various examples of advanced strategy in attack and defence. Part II describes some practical strokes which can be classified under special headings and Part IV is a straightforward account of the various forms of end of play.
