    Amazing Bridge Invention!
Charles H. Goren
AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS BRIDGE AUTHORITY,
now introduces his revolutionary
new way to improve your bridge
game-automatically!
How would you like to be the best bridge player in your circle
of friends ... a sought-after partner ... the authority others
turn to when they need advice? It's easier than you think, with the
help of this remarkable new invention called Goren's New
Way to Better Bridge. It's the greatest innovation in Contract
Bridge since its inventor pioneered Point Count Bidding. As you'll
see, it's not a book, not a course, but an entirely new method of
learning the finer points of both bidding and playing. And it's
guaranteed to help you play more skillfully, more confidently,
and with higher scores!

Guaranteed to make you a better player
within 24 bridge hands -or pay nothing!
Like all good ideas, Goren's New Way to Better
i Bridce is simple. It's based on one of the oldest and
most successful education theories ever developed: ex
perience is the best teacher.
With this new invention, Goren's bridge experiences
become yours. He has selected 24 of his most significant
bridge hands. Each one is a challenge requiring some
real thinking. And he has invented a way for you to play
the very same hands!
You fmprovo WMI You Ploy
Here's how it works: A deck of specially-coded playing
cards is dealt out according to the marks on the backs;
so that each player gets one of 24 predetermined bridge
hands. No one knows what the other's hand is!
You proceed as you would ordinarily, you bid the hand
and then you open the manual to see what bid Goren would
have made and why ! At this point, the comments on the
actual play of the hand are on another page and cannot
be seen.
You then start playing. Make your own decisions and
your own mistakes. When the hand is over - or during its
course if you prefer you open the manual for a com
plete play-by-play commentary by Charles Goren.

- You play each hand with three friends just as you
ordinarily would (or if you prefer you may even play
"solitaire"). The only difference is that you have a bridge
expert - in this case the world's No. 1 expert -"looking
over your shoulder." Through the advice in the 108-page
manual, he explains strategies and rules, the reasons for
various plays and bids. He gives you specific advice about
specific bids and plays.
You do NOT bother about learning abstract theories or
hard-to-remember rules. By actually bidding and playing
each hand - and then having it thoroughly reviewed and
explained by Goren you cannot help absorbing a tre
mendous amount of expert and practical "know-how."
Your game will improve automatically.
The 24 hands have been carefully chosen to introduce
. you to strategies of Contract Bridge and to cover a variety
of challenging situations. If you play different positions at
different times, you will have 96 individual hands that you
can play. And each one will give you experience that
might otherwise require years of ordinary playing.
