I don't know just where this should go but was wondering about whether or not the POINTS SCHMOINTS series by Marty Bergen was available in individual books or cds. I am looking specifically for the one on Understanding 1NT Forcing...

also, before Christmas one of the clubs had tee shirts with a BBO logo on them as prizes..has BBO given any thought to having these things available for us poor schmucks who would love to have one but are unlikely to win one?

Aside from that, a huge thank you to the BBO people for the many many hours of fun and frustration this site has provided over the last year . THANK YOU

I think you can log in BBO and go to the area marked with 'SHOP BRIDGE', there you will find lots of bridge teaching software including Marty Bergen's POINTS SCHMOINTS available. Except for cds version, you can also buy downloadable version, much cheaper i think.
I will say bridge books rewrited with bridge base software are much more readable than paper books.

BBO sells an online version of Points/Schmoints in the Lobby->Shop bridge area for $10.

Our pals at www.bridgebase.com sell the same thing on CD for about $29 plus shipping and they (if I read the page right) throw in a printed version as well.

I have brought one of these books from BBO and they really are good value
