The trouble with this series is that the wisdom is so couched in well-written humour there is a danger of missing it.
Still, what the hell, just read them for fun. That'll do fine.

A great book on the play of the cards, covering both declarer play and defence. Not as thorough as Watson's classic book on the subject, but much more entertaining. Should be in every bridge player's library.
One of those books that expert players go back to when they lose sense of the basics. A classic.
Victor Mollo’s Bridge in the Menagerie is on any list of the all-time top ten books on the game.
