Summary: The original is still the greatest
Review: The Complete Win At Spades is a classic and has stood the test of time. Joe Andrews clearly explains all aspects of the game. This book is intended for all levels of play, without the overkill of too much technical information. Many useful conventions are described and several illustrative hands help to explain strategy and technique. His wit and humor make the reading of this book very easy and enjoyable. The book is endorsed by U.S. Playing Card Company and is highly recommended.

Summary: The Complete Win at Spades
Review: This is a book on spades, with that I will agree with Joe. Beyond
that it contains numerous errors on the few examples it gives, playing
the way Joe suggests will result in you losing games you may otherwise
win. (In my opinion) Spades is
not his game and it is reflected in his books. I have read them all,
and was throughly disappointed in each of them, I expected competent
at the very least, this is a book I would give to my opponents, that
would at least help me win more games.

Review: Whether you're new to the game of Spades or have been playing it for years, you're sure to get something out of Joe Andrews' latest work. Andrews covers every aspect of the game, from valuing your hand and bidding, to how to play your cards to get the most out of them. He also discusses at length how to handle Nil bids, both by your partner and by the opponents. In addition, you will find plenty of illustrative hands showing Joe's strategies in action.

And that's what you'll be at the Spades table if you read this book!
