Wait-A-Minute Bridge, II

He includes such topics as advanced bidding systems (Two-Over-One; Precision); the squeeze play; the strip and endplay; the Principle of Restricted Choice; and several techniques and conventions for better slam bidding, play, and defense. Stevens retains the popular device of having an anonymous reader interrupt the narrative from time to time by crying, "Wait a minute!"
