Peck Press is coming soon!

We are a new publishing company specializing in common-sense books meant to inform, rather than impress. Our books contain just the facts you need to understand a subject.  Today, books tend to be so specialized that topics often seem impossibly difficult.

Peck Press is designed for people who need  a working overview of a subject. Our readers are not looking to become professionals in one weekend, rather to try on a subject to see how it fits. Our books are not “dummy” or “idiot” books. In fact, they are the opposite. We tap into  long-experienced experts in a field to sort through what could be learned about a subject, and ask them to teach only the techniques that are critical in day to day practice. Some techniques will be simple, but just as many will be advanced.

Beginners are not equipped to decide what is important in a new field of interest. Our experts have learned all there is to learn about a subject,  and they use their experience to bring you only what you need to effectively practice your chosen activity or subject.

Two books will be published shortly. Healthy Cooking Away from Home is a very creative instruction book on cooking in hotel rooms, dorms, campgrounds … anywhere you stay without kitchen facilities.

No-Crap Photoshop is a new type of computer book. Rather than offering an 800-page Bible-style tome, or keeping topics too basic, this book features what you need to know to successfully use Photoshop for real projects.  Proudly claiming to be “The most incomplete book ever written about Photoshop (on purpose),” this book gives you only critical methods for understanding and using this powerful and complex program.
