The Shadow is a mysterious expert (at bridge, as well as many other sports) whose passion for anonymity means that you have never heard of him. The author is his friend, and under strict rules of concealment of the Shadow’s identity, has been allowed to share these fascinating and instructive anecdotes with the world. Originally published more than 30 years ago, this edition is revised and expanded.

Shadow In the Bridge World’ is my all-time favorite work of bridge fiction… a highly entertaining book packed with fascinating deals, great stories, and wonderful characters. Fred Gitelman

I enjoyed the Shadow. Wiss is himself in the book, and unlike some writers, he self-portrays perfectly. Ted Horning, Toronto Star

Shadow is a very clever book, full of amazing bridge hands. Bill Gates

Marvelous fun! Mike’s inimitable, personal, breezy style makes this a wonderful read. John Armstrong, Ontario Kibitzer

This is the only bridge book I have ever read from cover to cover. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Mike Passell
