I have just read again Grand Slams by Alan Truscott. I used to read his columns in The New York Times. There are about 60 hands in the book, about 130 pages, all bid to grand slam level, but not all made! It covers so many different types of hand, and different plays, but what makes it enjoyable beyond the bridge hands is Mr Truscott's wit. I think he wrote the column in TNYT for about 40 years. There are other enjoyable, as opposed to technical, bridge books out there, but it left me a smile reading it again. A pleasant experience, and some great stories to accompany the hands. The hand on page 94 is my favorite.
