New Noob Question: Pressure

I was lucky enough to receive two gifts today from a cyclist friend who moved on to bigger and better things:

1) A barely used Brooks saddle (not sure I would've paid for one, but for free, I'll take it!)

2) The "Magic Flute" bike pump from Portland Design Works (http://www.ridepdw.com/goods/inflati...flute%E2%84%A2)

The pump, while beautiful and tiny, does not have any gauge. What is the best way to deal with this? Do I just pump until it feels "full"? Do I get a pressure gauge and pump & check? Is there a "pass-through" gauge that would work with this pump?

Also, where do I find the ideal pressure for the tires? The bike arrives next week (finally) and I want to be prepared!

I appreciate any enlightenment!
