Is that true? Is bridge play up or down?

Would it be a waste of my time and money to publish a book about
bridge?

There is probably at least a viable market for reprints of historically
interesting out-of-copyright bridge books. The key is to give rebirth
to the historically interesting part.

You have done it with chess books, I see no reason you can't expand in
the same vein.

Yes. That exactly is what I plan to do.

Personally, I do not know the difference between a heart and a spade.

Then my advice is to don't bother. You are coming in with the wrong
attitude. I am quite sure that no first time bridge book writer wrote the
book to make lots of profit, which seems your primary interest. If you don't
start with a story you want to tell, it's not going to work.
