Reviews Eric Kokish/The Montreal Gazette - "Take a romp down the Yellow Bridge Road with Mike Dorn Wiss and his multi-talented friend Alan (the Shadow); meet lots of interesting people, experience some unusual slices of Life, and encounter some first-class bridge hands... if you like your bridge in certain settings you will enjoy meeting the Shadow and going on the road with Wiss; it is that sort of book." Fred Gitelman/Las Vegas - "'Shadow In The Bridge World’ is my all-time favorite work of bridge fiction. Mike, my original bridge mentor, has created a highly entertaining book that is packed with fascinating deals, great stories, and wonderful characters. Expect to do a lot of laughing out loud when you read (and reread) this book!" Mike Passell/Las Vegas - "I recommend "Shadow" to every bridge player. Both the writing and bridge hands are first rate. This is the only bridge book I have ever read from cover to cover. I thoroughly enjoyed it." Rhoda Walsh/Palm Desert - "Shadow is superb! The characters are enchanting and the hands to die for...I truly couldn't put it down." Zla/Man About World - "Boy, you can really write!" Edgar Kaplan/The Bridge World - "Intriguing characters... Most of the deals that matter are on an advanced level. This is a book for sophisticated bridge players who long to step temporarily out of their everyday existences." Alan Truscott/The New York Times - "The writing and the deals are lively, giving an entertaining picture of the tournament world." Phlllip Alder/Newspaper Enterprise Assn. - "If you like reading bridge books containing entertaining but difficult hands that really happened, you'll want to buy Shadow In The Bridge World, (this is) a shadow with substance." Paul Soloway/Mlll Creek, Washington - "Mike, you have my endorsement; it brought back memories starting out as a pro; I enjoyed it." George Mittelman/Toronto - "Excellent writing and fun characters; belongs next to Reese in the bathroom book bin where re-reading is guaranteed!" Allan Falk/Okemos, Michigan - "I read Shadow In The Bridge World in one day, while on the airplane returning from the Seattle NABC and had to finish it before I turned out the light to go to sleep." John Armstrong/Ontario Kibitzer - "Marvelous fun! Mike's inimitable, personal, breezy style makes this a wonderful read. Lots of hands, enjoyable play, psychologically instructive bidding. I hooted with glee at the way the 'Shadow' turned the opponents inside out, especially a pair of cheaters in a rubber game (in Hawaii)." Ted Horning/Toronto Star Syndicate - "I enjoyed the Shadow. Wiss is himself in the book, and unlike some writers, he self-portrays perfectly. I recommend it to advanced players who will enjoy the hands and readers who appreciate a 'cool' hero and entertaining stories." Bruce McIntyre/Vancouver Matchpointer - "A new hero works his table magic." Gabriel Chagas/Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - "Congratulations for a light and agreeable book bearing some interesting hands." Linda Lee/Canadian Masterpoint - "I was prepared to hate the 'Shadow' after he was described as both wealthy and accomplished at all he does, but it was impossible to do so. Wiss and the Shadow just have too much fun together; their bridge is just too good and too interesting. Shadow in The Bridge World is a great read. The writing is entertaining, the many characters true to life (and rumoured to all be real) and the bridge stories amusing and the hands instructive." Bill Gates/Redmond, Washington - "Shadow is a very clever book, full of amazing bridge hands. If you like to read and you like bridge you will enjoy this."." Rhonda Foster/Victoria, BC - "I've never read a bridge book in my life, and I'm not about to start now."

Shadow in the Bridge World

Ken Eichenbaum's BRIDGE WITHOUT A PARTNER is by far the most hilarious bridge book I have ever read. Take small idiosyncrasies we all face, especially in an "unbalanced partnership," and explode this to the extreme, and you have BWAP. Kit Woolsey calls this his favorite bridge book ever, for good reason.
