With the rise of 'do-it-yourselfers', there is a growing demand for a simple calligraphy guide.

With a modern two-colour design and simple explanatory text, Simply Calligraphys unintimidating approach proves that calligraphy is as easy as picking up pen and paper.Trade Review"Long an admirer of her beautiful work, I'm delighted to see Judy Detrick draw upon her knowledge and masteryof calligraphy, as well as her extensive teaching experience, to write a book for beginners.

D&B Publishing Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em:
Book SynopsisThere is a lot of money to be made at small stakes no-limit hold’em because... surprise, surprise... most of the players aren’t very good. However, few players understand exactly how to exploit these games. Competent players who generally play larger stakes will, of course, beat them. But they won’t beat them for nearly as much as they ought to. Why? Because they don’t understand how to adjust correctly. Playing a solid, competent, decently aggressive style is a strategy that will be profitable. That said, you should not be content with just beating these games - you should be absolutely crushing them. The trick to doing this is to disregard a lot of “correct” poker and get way out of line at the right times. The methods required are far from obvious or intuitive but in Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Hold’em Jonathan Little explains them in great detail. Jonathan constructs a basic strategy to crush small stakes games and also identifies the adjustments that need to be made when facing more competent opposition. You need this book if... * You frequently play small stakes no-limit hold’em * You usually play larger stakes but (especially live) often have to make do with smaller stakes games * You play tournaments (such as WSOP events) that feature numerous recreational players
