A good book on leads?

[ABadPlayer]

I'm looking for some recommendations on a good book(s) on leads as well as defensive play for an intermediate level player. Any input would be appecaited, thanks.

Opening lead specific:

Mike Lawrence, "Opening Leads"

 

Defense in general:

Either

Bill Root, "How to Defend a Bridge Hand"

or

Eddie Kantar, "Eddie Kantar Teaches Modern Bridge Defense" & "Eddie Kantar Teaches Advanced Bridge Defense". These two also available in CD-ROM format if you prefer interactivity, although that way is a lot more expensive.

 

Then read

Hugh Kelsey, "Killing Defence at Bridge"

one of the best bridge books of all time.

Try Tony Sowter's "Opening Leads in Bridge" - excellent book and not too long at 127 pages.

The best I've read:

R. Ewen, Opening leads

 

Runners-up:

E. Blackwood, Complete book on opening leads

Mike Lawrence, Opening leads

Hugh Kelsey, Test your opening leads

 

Blackwood is the best for intermediate/advanced level. Others are expert stuff. For beginner you can try Kantar's defense books.
