READ THIS: The Little Black Book of Poker by the Peter Pauper Press Recommended by Whom You Know!

Now, Peachy Deegan was on Dean's List throughout her college years, but thanks to the world-class preparation she got at Miss Porter's in the four years prior, she managed to balance her life with work as well as play! She consulted some of her partners in crime from the good old days on this little number from the Peter Pauper Press, and they had such fun! Odds are you'll pick up serious tips from these pages packed with information on history, rules, strategy, lingo, and the inexact science of bluffing. Ninety games are explained step by step. The perfect gift book for your favorite poker legend-to-be, or to brush up your own skills if you haven't played since college. 160 pages. Pocket-sized (4-1/4" wide x 5-3/4" high) book features concealed wire-o binding. Book lies flat for ease of use. Elastic band place holder marks your spot. Peachy put some of her favorite card sharks from college on the panel, and these smart cookies that went to BC say:

If you love playing cards or even if you don’t learn, it’s the new wave. Hey haven’t you seen ESPN?? Everyone is doing it, I haven’t seen a poker tournament yet on TV without an actress, singer, reality star or flamed out 80’s show sitcom train wreck. Buy this book called “The Little Black Book of Poker” by John Hartley published by Peter Pauper Press, Inc. You will instantly learn how to play every game from Stud Poker, Hold ‘Em, Community, Draw and the list goes on and on. It’s a great, quick easy read, very informative and it’s 2010 and everyone should know how to play poker. I recommend this book, if not only to rest on top of your toilet or coffee table, but to have a keepsake for the times you need to know how to play with the big boys.

The Little Black Book of Poker is yet another helpful pocket book from Peter Pauper Press. Since a poker game seems to break out every time we get together with the inlaws, this book is proving quite useful. In the past, I was only able to play if the game of choice was Texas Hold 'Em. Most of the time, though, the family gathers around for poker and the dealer names. Before I got the Little Black Book of Poker, I would often sit there not knowing what was going on and unable to join in. They would start shouting out games from seven card stud to ship wreck, games from baseball to even cowpie. Too embarrassed to admit I couldn’t keep up with the different games, I would just sit back and be a wall flower taking in all the action. The Little Black of Poker was the perfect study guide to bring me up to speed in strategy and rules of each game. Now I am ready for the next family gathering so I can leave with all their money.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
