Dear Mr. Cohen

... I am now nearly a Silver Life Master... I couldn't have progressed this far without having read To Bid or Not to Bid. I've read it at least a dozen times. It's right up there with Why You Lose at Bridge and Matchpoints as my all-time favorite book.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr Cohen,

I am living in Turkey-Istanbul. ... When I read your book " To Bid or Not to Bid" one year ago it changed my whole view. My game improved a lot and now I am about to join Turkish Women National Team.

The reason I am telling you all this is, I think your book must be read by Turkish people too. But unfortunately no translation in Turkish available. I translated your book to Turkish and I believe I made it good. But of course only I have it so far and I cant publish it without your permission.
