Excerpt from Correct Auction: A Clear Exposition of the Game, as Actually Played by Experts, With Numerous Suggestions for Improvement
You can wonderfully improve your game in three evenings. Unless you are already an expert Auction player you can advance in that time to a higher class by heeding a little advice.
Devote a single evening to the chapter "Correct Bidding"; give a second evening to "Standard Leads spend your third evening on "Conventions and Customs"; just three evenings in all. This is enough book study to correctly start off any earnest student who knows the bare outline of the "Laws" and how to score.
You must correctly value your cards to play good Auction and you must know how to bid a hand to best disclose those values to your partner. You must be familiar with opening leads. You need to understand the regular conventions and customs of the game. An evening on each of these subjects is all the studying you need do until you feel inclined to post yourself on more advanced tactics.
