Vintage 1950 Goren’s Bridge Complete HC 3rd Printing 1975 Doubleday Annotated

This is a vintage 1975 third printing of "Goren’s Bridge Complete" by Charles H. Goren, published by Doubleday as part of the Chancellor Hall series. A major update and expansion of his bestselling guide, this edition includes:

• Updated bidding systems including Precision and Standard American
• Complete point count guides, bidding and response tables
• Self-testing quizzes after each chapter
• Detailed glossary and index
• 4-deal Bridge (Chicago) rules

This particular copy has extensive handwritten annotations throughout, offering a glimpse into the mind of a past player’s strategic learning process. Diagrams are marked with handwritten notes, calculations, and clarifications. Tucked-in notes and underlining appear across several sections.

Condition:
Dust jacket shows wear, creases, and small tears, with tape repairs. The hardcover underneath is solid with expected wear along the edges and spine. The inside is marked up throughout but remains fully readable. Binding is tight.

This would make a great teaching tool, nostalgic gift for a bridge lover, or a collectible annotated reference for a serious player.

Alternative uses:

• A fascinating research copy for those interested in mid-century pedagogy of bridge
• Art inspiration or decor for card game or retro gaming lovers
• Raw material for collage or altered book art projects

Welcome to The Gay Delphinium!

I offer a variety of vintage items, such as books, toys, and more. These items naturally show signs of age and wear, which adds to their unique charm. What you see in the photos is exactly what you'll receive. I strive to mention any notable flaws, broken parts, or missing pieces in my listings, but if you have any questions or need more details, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I usually ship within 2–5 business days, but please note that I ship from rural Canada, and while I do my best to get your items to you as quickly as possible, shipping can sometimes take a bit longer, especially during the winter months.

Save on shipping by bundling items from my shop! If it doesn't show up automatically, just send a message and we'll get it sorted out.
