This book was first published in 1959, and quickly became one of the classics of the game. Generations of bridge players have learned the fundamentals of squeeze play from Love. The original version has been out of print for some time, however, and it is now being republished in its first revision in 50 years. In its new modernized form, the concepts and terminology are much more accessible, and the book includes a number of squeeze concepts that have been discovered since the first publication.

Critics' Viewpoint
"Superb… many revisions, updates and new examples have made this text more accessible to the modern reader and created a must-read for serious students of the game."
-- The National Post
"I found myself glued to the pages. The text has been lovingly updated -- auctions reflect current methods, examples have been reanalyzed, and lots of new examples added. This is the bible for understanding and executing squeezes. Even if you think you'll never encounter (or recognize!) one of these positions in real life, the examples in the text are terrifically enjoyable. A+. "
