Reddit mentions of Standard Bridge Bidding for the 21st Century

Thanks for your response. I'm more interested in finding a coherent system with well thought out mechanics than in learning 2/1 specifically or bolting heaps of stuff on to it. My basic issue is that when you say "Basic 2/1", the interpretation of what is and is not "Basic 2/1" will vary from country to country and through time. I'm looking for a comprehensive description of a system.

For instance, I've just stumbled across this book: https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Bridge-Bidding-21st-Century/dp/1587760495

Which seems like a good place to start.

I do very much agree with your statement that bridge is not about system, and this is by no means where most of my effort is focused, in fact, looking for a coherent system is my attempt to stop faffing about with stuff and concentrate more on competitive judgement and defensive play - the areas where I know I have a lot of room to improve.
