Best books to learn Contract bridge, in order

Bridge has two halves—bidding and play—and beginners drown because they meet both at once. Start with the mechanics and a simple bidding system, since bidding is a language you and your partner must share, then learn declarer play and the counting that turns guesses into plans, then take on defense, the hardest and most rewarding phase. Build the bidding language first, then the card-play skill that makes it pay.
