Pruning New Peach Tree

Hello,

I just bought and planted a new peach tree. My question is should I prune it? In the books I've read they say to cut the central leader to 30" and to leave 3-4 good branches. However, I'm wondering if this isn't the right time of year to prune peach trees. Also, should the peach tree not have any leaves when I prune it? Because all the pictures I have seen of peach trees being pruned are pictures of tress without any leaves, but mine is full of leaves. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
