David Silver's three books of humorous bridge stories have received terrific throughout the bridge world. In all of them, the hero is the author's alter ego, Professor Silver, first as a teacher in a community college, and then as a bridge consultant as he moves into the realms of literary parody. Astute readers will recognise allusions to the works of Hemingway, Conan Doyle, Dickens and others, while movie fans will enjoy the bridge versions of 'Citizen Kane', 'Casablanca' and 'Star Trek, TNG'. And when the professor takes on Death or the Devil in the ultimate post-mortem analysis, you just know who's going to come out a winner.

Download The Silver Bridge Disaster of 1967 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Point Pleasant’s Silver Bridge, the first eyebar suspension bridge in the United States, was an engineering marvel when it was constructed in 1927 and 1928. Located on US Highway 35, the bridge spanned the Ohio River and linked Point Pleasant, West Virginia, with the towns of Kanauga and Gallipolis, Ohio. For almost 40 years, the structure provided dependable service for travelers in the region. On December 15, 1967, this service came to a dramatic and disastrous end. At 4:58 p.m., during the height of rush hour, the bridge suddenly collapsed. Rescue and recovery operations started immediately but were hampered by poor weather conditions and freezing rain. The cause of the collapse was linked to the bridge’s innovative design. Undetected corrosion stress cracks caused an eyebar on the Ohio side to fracture; because the eyebars were linked together in a chain, the failure of one led to the catastrophic collapse of the entire bridge. In total, 46 lives were lost in the disaster.

New Saucerian presents the newly revised 2015 edition of "The Silver Bridge" by Gray Barker! This edition features several photographs not found in previous editions, as well as introductions by researchers Allen Greenfield, James W. Moseley, and Andy Colvin. The cover features a recently unearthed government photo of the Silver Bridge, showing it proudly withstanding one of the worst floods in history. Description from the original dust jacket: What kind of book is "The Silver Bridge?" Well... It is primarily not about the collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, which took the lives of dozens of people on December 15th, 1967 - though it does describe the strange events that preceded the collapse. Is this book a historical account of Mothman, the famous birdman who visited the Elk, Kanawha, and Ohio river valleys in 1966? Or is it a dramatic docudrama about the hopes and fears of local residents? And what about Woody Derenberger, whose van was stopped on a nearby highway by an otherworldly "spaceman" named "Indrid Cold?" Did Woody really take a friendly ride in Indrid's spaceship? Did he experience real telepathy with Indrid and the people of the planet "Lanulos," or was Indrid an earthly "Man in Black" with ill intent? Regardless of what "The Silver Bridge" is really about, one thing is for certain. It will creep mysteriously back into your thoughts, late at night, like the barely audible chanting of robed figures in the foggy, moonlit woods. In the shadows of your darkened bedroom, a visit from a winged creature or pale stranger seems possible - particularly if you happen to "know too much" about flying saucers! "Complex and intelligent.. Be very careful..." -John A. Keel, author of "The Mothman Prophecies" and "Our Haunted Planet" "Without Gray, there would be no Men in Black mystery..." - Nick Redfern, Mysterious Universe "One of the great classic saucer books..." -UFO Magazine

In this book, you will learn where to look for these clues, and more importantly, how to draw the correct inferences from them. From there, it is only a short step to making bids and plays based on those inference, and thereby becoming a much better player.
