Later, Reese made use of the growing library of hands from international competitions to create interesting quiz-type books, where the discussion was usually on the verso of the page which presented the problem. "Famous Hands from Famous Matches" was the first of these, followed by "Famous Bidding Decisions" and "Famous Play Decisions", all written with David Bird. In his career as a writer, Reese had a number of co-authors, mostly highly competent players and writers, yet all his books were in his inimitable style. Another of his ideas was to raid the stock of hands in bridge magazine bidding competitions for interesting and instructive hands. "What Would You Bid?" was the result.
