In If I Knew Then, which was first published in 1962, Debbie Reynolds makes her debut as an author, having already excelled in numerous other fields of expression—including appearing in motion pictures, on the stage, in vaudeville and on television, and selling more than a million copies of her record “Tammy,” from the movie Tammy and the Bachelor (1957). “I’m Debbie Reynolds. “Well, I’m not really Debbie; I’m Mary Frances. But if you like Debbie you can call me that. Or you can call me Sis, like my father, or Frannie, like my brother, or Mrs. Karl or—Whatever you want to call me, I’m pleased to meet you. “Now let’s get down to cases. Like the Case of Why Debbie Reynolds Is Writing a Book. That’s one that even Perry Mason would have trouble solving. “Me write a book? “I can imagine the hubbub this will arouse in certain quarters “People who know me well know I will not be swayed by flattery. I am going to write this book, anyway. First I’d better list what this book is not. “1. It is not an autobiography of Little Me. The life and times of this belle will have to be written a few decades hence. “2. It will not teach you how to play the piano in forty-five (45) days. “3. It will not cure nervous tension, negative thinking or excess acidity. “Then what is it? “It is a book about the things I have learned, often the hard way. It was prompted by the people who have written me for advice on a variety of subjects, mainly personal. Why me, I don’t know. But they write....”—Debbie Reynolds

The Nome Kennel Club was founded ostensibly to sponsor races as a way to settle the never-ending dispute over who owned the best dogs. The club s rules for participation led to a greater respect for and care of sled dogs in a way that, until recently, had yet to be fully appreciated. That Leonhard Seppala and his Siberians became the ambassadors carrying the Nome Kennel Club s humane dog care message from Nome to New England was inevitable nice-looking, calm, friendly dogs who adored their driver and a charismatic man who loved his dogs.

Hello my name is Bob and welcome to my book. In this book I will be telling you all of my greatest secrets that I have learnt in casinos dealing to the players from 1/2 USD to the highest stakes imaginable. The topics of the book that I will cover are as follows 1.Developing a correct mindset for poker In this chapter I will detail what should be the correct mindset of a poker player right from the initial stage of selecting a table, stakes, a game, the correct expectations, being aware of the transactions costs like rake and other expenditures, and more. This is crucial because most players today lack this information and set themselves up for failure and a cascade of losses. I will also be sharing several secrets for example when a player plays at a stake that is meaningless in form of money to him, he is already winning. And a player who is playing at a stake in which money means dearly to him he is already begun losing. The cause is when a person plays with a thing dear to him he is actually gambling and cannot play the game as skillfully if he had been playing at a stake that was unimportant. 2.The Truth About Casino Side Games You already know it but I will be sharing several secrets for example. When you play in casino side games for example Black Jack you can become tilted when you lose an amount significant to you and you can end up donating even more money, people have blown all their pay checks and tax refunds the same day due to tilt. Hence it is important to not go to casinos with your debit cards or credit cards, otherwise you can get in a gambling trap and lose a lot of money quickly. Casinos know that most people will quit after they go on a heater but will continue playing when losing, hence they can offer players free rooms, drinks and even food. 3.The Biggest Secret In this I will share with you what exactly takes to turn from a Fish to a Super Pro! 4.Tournament Secrets Ok most now already know the M Ratio and Q Ratio. Do you really know what it takes to be a consistent winner like a top WSOP money maker? 5.Pot Limit Omaha Secrets The secrets that I am going to tell you will prevent you from making a lot of mistakes and help you learn how the game should be played, how you can take advantage of the freerolls that are in this game. 6.No Limit Hold''em Secrets Do you as a player always put money when you are ahead and your opponent is a 4 to 1 dog, if not then you are losing money. Still there is lot of hope for you because by learning these secrets you will be playing when you are way ahead, be avoiding the marginal situations and will be crushing the donks for thousands of dollars every month at your local casinos. Sounds fun? 7.Hand Reading and Constructing Ranges Like A Boss This is important Phil Hellmuth once said that he made 20 million dollars because of hand reading, he actually has made 20 million dollars and he does hand read. 8.Is Poker Gambling? The truth from a poker dealer!
