Bridge magazines

Bridge magazines

Various magazines are devoted to the card game of bridge. "The Bridge World" (TBW) was founded in 1929 by Ely Culbertson. TBW is generally regarded as the most prestigious Bridge magazine. Currently, Jeff Rubens is editor and publisher. He took over from Edgar Kaplan who edited and published "The Bridge World" from 1967 to 1997. TBW is published monthly.

Apart from "The Bridge World", other bridge magazines published in the US are "Bridge Today" and "the Bridge Bulletin". The latter is a monthly periodical issued by the American Contract Bridge League.

The "International Popular Bridge Monthly" (IPBM), "Bridge Plus", and "Bridge Magazine" are British bridge magazines. All three appear monthly. "Bridge Magazine" is the oldest magazine devoted to the game, having been founded in 1926 by A.E. Manning-Foster. It was not published during World War Two, so has had fewer issues than TBW.

Other English language magazines are: "Australian Bridge" and "Bridge Canada", the CBF's magazine.

Many magazines are published in languages other than English. Other well-known include "IMP", a Dutch bridge magazine, the Swedish "Bridge Tidningen", French "Le Bridgeur", and Italian Bridge d'Italia.
