You mean this whole ridiculous thread was no more than a publicity
stunt?


No. This thread was by no means a publicity stunt. I was already
reprinting two of the chess books by Kenneth Harkness. It occurred to
me that I might as well reprint his chess book too, since I had
already done all the work.

However, I keep hearing that Bridge is a dying game. So, I wanted to
see if anybody plays bridge any more. After all, it requires a
financial investment to reprint a book.

I am now satisfied that it is mostly chess players who say that bridge
is a dying game and it is worth the risk to reprint this book.

This is, of course, a complete beginners book, most suitable for those
who have never played bridge before. It does not even reach weak-two
bids.

I am now planning to reprint two of the Watson 1934 books (but NOT the
updated revisions). However, first I need to find a picture of Watson,
which does not seem to be available anywhere.
