David Bird and Ron Klinger made a great hit with KOSHER BRIDGE, which was enthusiastically applauded world-wide by the leading bridge critics. In THE RABBI AND THE WEAKER SEX, the retitled KOSHER BRIDGE 2, the cast returns in splendid form and the Rabbi, kindly and considerate, maintains an essential balance between the hilariously warring factions and the excellence of the bridge ensures that readers will be properly instructed while being immoderately entertained. If you did not read the first book you can start with this one. We guarantee you will come back for more.

THE RABBI AND THE WEAKER SEX
DAVID BIRD & RON KLINGER

by David Bird and Ron Klinger

KOSHER BRIDGE
When Kosher Bridge was published it was given a great welcome by leading bridge critics around the world. Here is what three of them had to say:

'What began as a series of columns in a Sydney, Australia, newspaper has become a wonderfully entertaining book - a tribute to the talents of two of bridge's best writers. Australia's Klinger created the Rabbi, the central figure in the book, but did little to develop his character because of space restrictions in the newspaper. England's Bird was recruited to expand the articles into episodes. The result is a terrific blend of humor and bridge. Each of the 57 bridge deals is at the very least instructive. Many are fascinating.' Brent Manly, The Contract Bridge Bulletin

'Between them, I think they have certainly produced the most entertaining book of 1992 to date. Thinking back, maybe the mossts entertaining book of the last few years!' Roy Dempster, Bridge

'I know I am biased, but this is the kind of bridge book I enjoy the most. Entertaining and instructive and able to be dipped into at will. An ideal present for your partner, with the added bonus for you that their game will be sure to improve.' Keith McNeil, Australian Bridge
