Talk:Hugh Kelsey

Untitled
Bravo, Jhall1. This bio has been missing too long. Advanced Play at Bridge is the first book on bridge I ever read (oops) and it's still on my shelf, albeit tattered and dogeared. I lived in Iran for 18 months during the mid-1970s and most nights were spent in the company of Match Point Bridge. Still, I never knew some of the Kelsey details you provided, for which my thanks. (BTW, we've been asked to include the WPCB template on talk pages for new articles we submit; I've done it here.) Xlmvp 18:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for including the template and for the kind words. Kelsey's one of my favourite bridge writers, not only for the quality of the analysis but also for how clear his writing is. He also has a good sense of humour too, which occasionally emerges.


 * According to the piece on him in the Official Encyclopedia, he was also a novelist. I found a mysterious book credited to him on Amazon UK from way back in 1964 called "Please don't squeeze the trees", but no details are given so I can't be sure that it's a novel and didn't mention it. I went through everything credited to either "Hugh Kelsey" or "HW Kelsey" on Amazon UK, in an attempt to identify the earliest edition of all his books. It was tricky, because sometimes a work had changed its title or been republished with some extra material, so I can't guarantee that I was 100% accurate.


 * If anyone knows his date or place of birth, I would be grateful.
