Happiness is having a large, caring, close-knit family in another city. -- George Burns
Bridge is a wonderful game, that anyone can learn how to play. I realize that many people are put off by it because it seems SO intimidating, but there are many painless ways to learn.
The Complete Idiot's Guide To Bridge
This book got me up and running (Yes Diana, we are still going to burn it, and I will put the pics up when we do)
 
Bridge For Dummies
Im sure this one is equally good for beginners.
 
As I get more Bridge books, I will update the page :-)
Here's one time it is REALLY great to belong to AOL. In my opinion the BEST place to play online is only available to AOL members. World Play Bridge, is a friendly and enjoyable place,and newcomers are welcome! (AOL Keyword: Bridge) For those of you that have renounced AOL, there is hope! The Microsoft Gaming Zone is a free place to play, and meet people around the world, from Life Masters to people on their first rubber! The only place where I feel the Zone is superior is in the wee hours of the morning, when WP is deserted, you can always find a couple of hundred people on the Zone.
