Hef's Bridge Attic affiliation and terms:
Hef's Bridge Attic is an online store that has an affiliate relationship with Amazon.com and will fully abide to the Amazon.com Conditions of Use. Please read Amazon's Privacy Notice that fully describes the flow of personal information through any Amazon affiliate and Hef's Bridge Attic.
The products included in Hef's Bridge Attic are 100% managed by Amazon.com - this includes prices, characteristics, delivery, payment and security, all other respective rights.

When a visitor purchases an item from Amazon.com via Hef's Bridge Blog, I receive a small commission. I will invest this commission in bridge books for reviews and prizes to the readers.
From Amazon's excellent products I've selected and categorized the most relevant ones:
- Books I've read and considered meaningful/interesting/useful
- Books I would like to read and review for the blog's visitors
- Other products I personally trust
These products are only recommendations made out of my bridge playing and reading experience. I take no other responsibility other than "Yes, I've read it or used it / No, I haven't read it but I think it's worth it"
Text or image links to selected books or other products available at Amazon.com will appear in blog posts and will be featured in this blog's sidebar.
Other:
Currently no marketing e-mail is sent to visitors of this blog.
Any other business or commercial relationship (such as paid blogs, commercials, etc.) will be clearly marked as such on the blog.
