Hi all,

The American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) maintains the Albert H.
Morehead memorial library, which is supplied primarily through book
donations from private individuals and estates. The overstock from
this library is shipped to me for disposition through my bridge book
website at http://www.carlritner.com


My website features only bridge books (and some software). It offers
primarily used and out of print books, plus the complete line of Marty
Bergen products. Part of the net proceeds from each sale goes back to
the ACBL for library purposes.


I have just recently listed some new inventory received (these are on
the main books page) and I will be listing more titles this week, as
soon as the ACBL ships. There's a lot of Truscott material on the way.
There's currently 2,014 items listed but a good portion of this is
single copy, so books are always reserved in the order requests are
received.


Please feel free to email me ( carl@carlritner.com ) with any
questions or special requests. Thanks for supporting the ACBL Library
and my bridge book website!


Cheers,


Carl Ritner

Hi,

The ACBL has shipped more books, and I'll be listing these sometime tomorrow (Monday EDT). There's some further inventory from the Truscott estate as well as other donations to the library. My total bridge inventory is now approaching 4000 items, so there's got to be something for everyone here.

Thanks as always for supporting the ACBL Library and my bridge website.

Cheers,

Hi All,


This is just a brief reminder that used (and a few new) books on bridge are available from the ACBL Library and other sources through my website. A substantial portion of the proceeds go back to the library for preservational and general literature purposes.


If you are looking for an out of print bridge book, this would be a sensible place to start. If you don't see what you are looking for, just ask - it's possible I have not yet posted that item.


Thanks in advance for supporting the ACBL Library and my bridge website!

ACBL Library Used Bridge Books

[CarlRitner]

Hi All,

The new books for January have been received from the ACBL Library and about half are posted on my website. You'll find the new stuff on the books-main page here:

ACBL Library Used Bridge Books - January

The other 3000+ bridge books are listed by author on the five "by author" pages, alphabetically.

I'll be listing additional books for the next two weeks, so please check back often. Sales benefit the ACBL library for the preservation of bridge literature and other purposes.


Cheers,

Carl

What happened to all of the used magazines on Carl's site?

Good question. We made the decision early in 2007 to stop carrying bridge magazines and focus strictly on bridge books. Space was the primary consideration, being new grandparents and needing a spare bedroom (once again).

There are about 3744 bridge books here, not counting my personal library. I still receive some bridge magazines from the ACBL library in Memphis, and these are sold as a lot on my website or on eBay, to keep things moving along.

If you have specific needs, let me know and I'll see if anyone in my circle of collectors has anything to help you.

Cheers,
Carl

Do you have "Every Hand an Adventure" by Eric Landau and Randy Baron or do you know where i could get it?

thanks, Bill Sharp

[CarlRitner]

Hello Bill,

I don't have it, but you can get this directly from Eric:

elandau@cais.com -- this is an older email, I haven't checked it

ehaa@starpower.net -- this is from last year, I didn't check this either.


I hope that helps!

Finding "Every Hand an Adventure"
I contacted Eric and he said even he has no more copies of the book "Evry Hand an Adventure", but that Baronbarclay had right to publish it and might if there was enough interest. I have emailed Baronbarclay about it, anyone else who is interested in this book might do the same...

Bill

[CarlRitner]

Great idea. Unfortunately Randy Baron is no longer involved in the operations of Baron Barclay, so the obvious motivation to get this into print again seems to be missing.

There's quite a lot about the system available on the website though, so perhaps you'll find enough information to satisfy your needs.
