There are many general guidelines for bridge players -- some of them valuable, some not. But these are the Bridge Myths, not the Bridge Rules -- because they all have exceptions and none should be followed blindly. 'Eight ever, nine never', 'Cover an honor with an honor', 'When in doubt lead trumps', 'Never open with fewer than 13 points', etc. This book does an excellent job of breaking myths with lots of examples when rules work and when not to follow them.
