Contract Bridge for Beginners

1953 cover of 31st printing

Contract Bridge For Beginners is a book written by Charles Goren on the rules and basic strategies of contract bridge. First published by Simon & Schuster Inc. of New York in 1953[1] and by Eyre & Spottiswoode of London in 1959, each has been reprinted numerous times. The book contains an introduction to the then relatively new bidding system condensed from Goren's historically significant[2] 1947 book Point Count Bidding in Contract Bridge.[3]

Contract Bridge for Beginners is a "competent but unimaginative text" with a bidding system that is "of little practical use today"[4] having been superseded by more modern methods.
