Book Summary

The Best of Eddie Kantar: Funny Stories from the Bridge Table (first published in 1989) is a curated collection of humorous anecdotes and memorable mishaps from the world of contract bridge. Drawing on his experiences from tournaments, teaching, and home games, Kantar shares lighthearted tales—often featuring himself and luminaries of the bridge community—full of ridiculous bids, mysterious misplays, and witty commentary. The stories highlight classic blunders (including Kantar’s own) as well as moments of absurd bridge etiquette and bidding misunderstandings. With an accessible tone and a keen eye for comedic nuance, the book is meant to entertain players of all levels, whether they’re novices or seasoned competitors. It later inspired expanded collections such as Classic Kantar, which combines material from this volume and its predecessor plus new stories.

Over his career he penned more than 35 bridge books, including technical plaudits like Complete Defensive Bridge Play and Roman Keycard Blackwood, but he was equally renowned for his comic gift, particularly in collections like Bridge Humor and The Best of Eddie Kantar World, ACBL Bridge Bulletin, and Bridge Today, earned him multiple awards from the American Bridge Teachers Association and broad respect as both an educator and entertainer
