I'm looking for a good basic book on bridge and maybe a computer program to get (for mac) so
my new bridge partner and I can practice on our own...

anyone have some ideas?

Expect this thread to move, but before it does, look for the texts from Watson (The Play of the
Hand at Bridge) and Kaplan ([/u]Winning Contract Bridge[/u]). Gordon's On Bridge is the basic text. But go with the others for more depth and to expand your communication greatly.

Yes, but then it's a bit like "Car Talk" on NPR, where you go not just for the car advice but for
some laughs and who knows what other random things...

I do. It's a great game.

I haven't looked at books for a long time. My recollection is that Goren and Jacoby wrote some adequate introductory books.

I haven't looked at bridge software in a long time. What I saw back then was pathetic. Perhaps it is better now.

As stated, this is the Road Bike Forum. If you want to talk about off topic things, there's a place for that. It's called Foo. And that, ladies and gentleman, is where this thread is off to.

"Five Weeks to Winning Bridge" by Sheiwold is how I learned back in HS. Great game but it's not a big hobby of mine anymore.
