We would like to present a list of all published Bridge Books, and would like to make this list as comprehensive as possible. There are many bridge authors who have contributed to the learning of the game, and we would like to recognize them with our efforts. We also realize that many bridge book authors have published other books on different subjects, but we have not included these titles. We have also attempted to include as many international authors as possible. If a certain book is not listed, please notify us, and we shall include it. We need your help in compiling this list, because you, the reader and visitor, are our best asset and source.

The Authors have been divided up alphabetically.

The dates given are an uncertain factor since many bridge books have been re-edited, re-named, re-worked, re-published, re-printed, and re-issued. We have not added a link to a Website, where you may order a particular book. There are several Internet addresses where you can order a particular book. Following are some helpful hints:

We have also given credit to those bridge players who are not the author, but have co-authored, contributed to, edited or illustrated the bridge book before the publishing date. We have tried to give credit to those ladies who have published bridge books before their marriage, and afterwards changing their last names. It must be noted that some of the bridge books are no longer printed, or are being reprinted, and are not available at this time. It is also possible that some bridge books, which are being edited for re-publication, are listed as not available. We can not be certain that a bridge book is out of print. Please be sure to check.
ISBN: This is a unique machine-readable 10-digit identification number, which marks any book unmistakably, and over 160 countries and territories are officially ISBN members. This system of cataloging has been in effect since the early 1970s and earlier publications, unless reprinted, do not always carry such an ISBN number. Books published in countries not bound by the ISBN number are also included.
Every ISBN will consist of thirteen digits in 2007. The thirteen digit number is divided into five parts of variable length, each part separated by a hyphen.
The ISBN identification number is also unique to the Publishing House. Therefore, books by authors who have their works published by other publishing houses carry a different ISBN identification number. The ISBN identification number is therefore also a means employed to identify the individual publishing house. As a consequence, the included ISBN identification number is the number used by the specified Publishing Company, not for all publications and reprints of the book.
EAN.UCC: As of January 1, 2007, the book industry has begun using 13-digit ISBNs to identify all books in supply chain. Two new prefixes are being created. The 978 prefix will be added in front of the current ISBN-10 and with the addition of a new check digit at the end, the new ISBN-13 is created. This change is taking place to fully align the numbering system for books with the global EAN.UCC identification system that is widely used to identify most other consumer goods worldwide.
ISSN: The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is an eight-digit number which identifies all periodical publications as such, including electronic serials. Each ISSN assigned to a serial publication is registered in an international database: the ISSN Register. It is the most comprehensive and authoritative source for the identification of serial publications world-wide. It is managed by a world wide network of 81 National Centres coordinated by an International Centre based in Paris, backed by Unesco and the French Government. The ISSN is used by various partners throughout the information chain: libraries, subscription agents, researchers, information scientists, newsagents (through its barcode version).
LC: An LC included in the description is the LC Control Number which is the identification number for indexing and cataloging by the Library of Congress.ASIN: The Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) is a product identification number used by Amazon.com. Despite the name, it is not a "standard" in any real sense, and is valid only for referring to products within the Amazon.com network of sites. Also known as: Amazon Standard Item Number. This identification number may be the identical number as the corresponding ISBN number or other cataloging numbers.
OCLC: Founded in 1967, OCLC Online Computer Library Center is a nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization dedicated to the public purposes of furthering access to the world's information and reducing information costs. More than 41,555 libraries in 112 countries and territories around the world use OCLC services to locate, acquire, catalog, lend and preserve library materials.
Whenever possible, we have included a link to a picture of the front cover of the respective book.
We have attempted to construct these pages with the least amount of inconvenience to the visitor. If, however, the first letters of the surnames of the authors do not match and are on different web pages, then the "back button" may take the visitor to the wrong section. Apologies in advance for this inconvenience but we have found no other solution.

Note: Mr. Wesley Adamczyk is a retired chemist and tax consultant who lives in Illinois. He is also a champion bridge player. This publication is a memoir of a boyhood lived in unspeakable circumstances, a book that not only illuminates one of the darkest periods of European history but also traces the loss of innocence and the fight against despair that took root in one young boy. It is also a book that offers a stark picture of the unforgiving nature of Communism and its champions. Unflinching and poignant, this book will stand as a testament to the trials of a family during wartime and an intimate chronicle of episodes yet to receive their historical due.

Bridge Calendars - The attempt has been made in the publishing world to publish a bridge calendar each year for the benefit of the bridge community. The contributors for such calendars have been various and many. However, the actual authorship remains sometimes undetermined. Mr. Phillip Alder has been instrumental in keeping this project alive and this list is therefore under his name. If the various authors can be determined, who have made contributions, then these names are included as soon as discovered. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

American Whist Congress
The AWC, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, was in progress from 1891 and published eight volumes about the game. The organization was renamed later as The American Whist League and enjoyed much popularity in the United States and the United Kingdom. Many publications of the American Whist League, too many to be listed, were published by this head organization. After changes to the scoring methods were made the name of the game in 1925-1927 also changed. Auction Bridge and Duplicate Bridge became dominant and, to a large degree, threatened the existence of the American Whist League. Once these changes were made and accepted by the majority of the American players, the American Whist League faded into history around the early 1940s. It is not known whether this organization was officially dissolved. These publications are a matter of history and many authors of many publications were involved.
Google has archived several publications as a service to the Internet community. One of these 'googled' books is the Proceedings of the Third American Whist Congress held in the city of Chicago, June 20th to 24th, 1893. The printer is Swain & Tate Company 385 Broadway, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1894. This publication is 'Entered according to the act of Congress, in the year 1894, By The American Whist Leage, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C.' The introduction was written by Mr. Eugene S. Elliot, the President of American Whist League, and attested by Mr. Walter H. Barney, Recording Secretary, and Mr. Theodore Schwarz, Corresponding Secretary. This publication, in .pdf file format, has been only preserved and archived on this site for future reference.

Andersson, Ivar (Miscellaneous Spelling: ivar andersson, anderson, ifar antersson, nadersson, andresson, ivarandersson , adersson, anersson, andrsson, andesson, anderssn)
Note: Sweden's Ivar Andersson collected hundreds of problems during the first half of the twentieth century and in fact contributed all of the 201 double dummy problems appearing in George Coffin's 'Sure Tricks' published 1948. These 201 double dummy problems include several ingenious miniatures composed by himself. It has been reported that Ivar Andersson did not faithfully record the authorship of all the problems in his collection. Similar to George Coffin, the designation is 'by Ivar Andersson' for problems actually composed by him, and 'from Ivar Andersson' for those he collected, whose composers must alas remain as anonymous as they were when George Coffin published these problems in 1948.

Anonymous Bridge Authors: There have been many publications sold and presented to the reader, who must discover that the author has intentionally not acknowledged the work, or the authors are so many that to state one author is impossible. It is also possible that the publication has been out of print for such a long time that the author cannot be determined since the the relevant pages of the remaining copies are missing. There were many publications in the latter years of the 19th century and in the early years of the 20th century, for which the author did not wish his/her name known and employed a pseudonym or simply did not sign the book or publication. For what ever reason there are many bridge books without author, sometimes without dates of publications, and without any code or identification number.
These books and publications have been included and presented for the benefit of the librarian. These books are listed on a separate web page for easier viewing. If any knowledge of any of these publications is or becomes known to the reader, please take the moment and contribute this information. It will be always gratefully appreciated.

Auction Bridge and Mah Jong Magazine
Auction Bridge and Mah Jong Magazine - July 1924
Auction Bridge and Mah Jongg Magazine - August 1924
Auction Bridge and Mah Jongg Magazine - September 1924
First Publication: The Auction Bridge and Mah Jong Magazine was published from February 1924 to September 1924. The name of the magazine was changed to Auction Bridge and Mah-Jongg Magazine beginning with the August, 1924 issue. The reader will notice the different spelling of the word 'Jong' and 'Jongg'. The correct spelling was never determined and several verisons were employed. However, beginning October 1924 the publication was designated only as Auction Bridge, and the Mah-Jongg part was deleted.
Advertisement: New York Times, Current Magazines, February 3, 1924, p. BR20
The Auction Bridge and Mah Jong Magazine is a new publication devoted to auction bridge, whist and mah jong. It is the official organ of the American Whist League. Mr. Milton C. Work and Mr. Wilbur C. Whitehead are the editors, and associated with them are Mr. Sidney S. Lenz, Mrs. Josephine Culbertson, and Mr. Ralph J. Liebenderfer. As collaborators were also Mr. L.F. Hartman and Mr. R.F. Foster. The fiction feature of the very first February issue is an amusing story, Eight Clubs-Doubled! written by Mr. Sam Hellman. Mr. R.F. Foster answers the question, Has Mah Jong Come to Stay? and other experts write on various phases of whist and auction bridge.

These laws will be followed and accepted by all American players. Ordering a copy is recommended as the edition is limited.

Also, from an article in The New York Times, dated August 13, 1904, Saturday, under the heading ABOUT AUTHORS: What Some of Them Are Saying, Writing, or Planning, the following paragraph was published: "It is now an open secret that the author of Badsworth on Bridge, The Laws and Principles of Bridge, etc., and whose new book, A Defence of Bridge is to be brought out in September by G.P. Putnam's Son's, is A. Lindsay Lister. He is a well-known authority on the game, and in his new book he has reprinted letters in which he defends the purpose, character, and influence of bridge."

Baily's Magazine Of Sports And Pastimes - Bridge Articles in .pdf file format
This was a magazine published by Vinton And Company, Ltd., at 9 New Bridge Street, Ludgate Circus , London, England. The magazine was created in the early 1800s, the Volume IV for the years 1832 - 1833 is possibly the earliest still on record and April 2008 auctioned by eBid of London, England. This information, if accurate, places the beginning of the magazine in the mid-1920s. This information, gleened from the Internet, is in contrast to the information available at the Library of Congress, which states that the magazine began in 1889, and ceased with: No. 796 (June 1926). LC: 30016526.
We present Volume LXXV, from the year 1901, month of January. The first image is of the Front Cover and the second image is of the Inside Cover, and a story which accompanies the picture.
This magazine is include owing to the fact that the United Kingdom recognized, even at that time, that the game of Whist, and all other forms, which followed, include the game of bridge, was indeed a sport. For this reason the Baily's Magazine contained during its publication period several articles about the game of bridge.
In addition to the Bridge Articles presented in the .pdf file, the following articles also appeared in the Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes:
Letters On Whist, by W. M. Deane, Volume 60, pages 316 and 378; also Volume 61, pages 51, 86, 153, and 242, in the years 1893 and 1894, Source: A Bibliography Of Works in English on Playing Cards and Gaming, author Mr. Frederic Jessel, 1905, published by Longmans, Green, and Co., London, New York, and Bombay, LC: 05028032
