 About No Guff Press
NO GUFF PRESS RISES out of a changing book landscape to bring readers seriously fun, seriously informative, and seriously guff-busting books. In an age where the rise of the Internet and decline of professional journalism allows unabashed repetition of guff—corporate marketing messages and over-the-fence gossip gone wild—No Guff Press is a voice of reasoned ideas.
Those reasoned ideas stem from a unique dialogue between co-authors with very different backgrounds. east meets west; boy meets girl; Gen Xer meets boomer; parent meets grandparent.

GUFF
Chief Antagonist
Guff has lots of advice for you. Guff really, really wants you to hear what he has to say. Who is Guff? Most dictionaries will tell you that he is empty talk--nonsense. Here at No Guff Press, he’s more than that: he’s our Chief Antagonist. That means he helps us keep the reading fun.
No Guff Press: No Guff. Lots of fun.
