[TimG]

This doesn't signal an end to the system documentation website, does it?

[DJNeill]

Hi Tim,

 

No this will not affect the system documentation website. I just don't have room either! I'm not succumbing to Gitelosophy.

 

Thanks,

Dan

Hi all,

OK the main sale is over. Here is the next auction for the residue:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=220525239385

 

Description below:

 

World Championship Books from the 80's - when weird methods ruled and Nickell was not yet started. And other stuff.

 

For experts/collectors but great bridge for anyone! Sorry no returns. All in good condition.

 

- Helgemo's World of Bridge. Tislevoll. (It's good to be Helgemo.)

- 1987 World Championships book. Francis.

- Preempts from A to Z. Andersen/Zenkel. (Different preempt methods.)

- 1986 World Championships book. Francis.

- 1981 World Championships book. Francis/Kokish. (Meckwell's first world championship)

 

- and, 40 Bridge d'Italia magazines 2002-2005 (Forquet continues his awesome card by card style from Bridge with the Blue Team in his long-running column - yet the modern Blue Team is pummelling the world anew; feel free to opt out of these if you want to save on shipping)

[DJNeill]

Hi all,

The final sale

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=220525239385

(same as above)

 

is about up. If you like Forquet, he's still kicking. His Passo a Passo column is like Bridge with the Blue Team (but Italian). I might contact him about making an English book of his favorite columns. Here you can get 40 columns, and coverage of Italian bridge in general, if you find that style interesting.

 

In the meantime, learn some Italian, get some world championship books, read some Helgemo.

 

Happy holidays,

Dan
