Dear Luke
As we have just sent my book to Griffin Press, I thought this would be the moment to thank you for not only translating my vision into reality, but for enriching it with your superlative design and layout, and for the improvements you made to the cover design.
I simply could not be happier with the final product. It is fantastic.I gave you a pretty short timeframe in which to complete my project, and you said you would do it. And you did. That is fantastic. You were also a delight to work with, always attentive and responsive; never distracted or disinterested. That, too, is fantastic. Please feel free to use me as a reference, should a prospective client need to speak with one of your “satisfied” clients. Your entire service, from beginning to end, was outstanding. Thank you!
Sincerely,Robert Rabbin, author/publisher, RealTime Speaking: YOU Are the Message!

It’s brilliant. Blew me away in fact. Perfect! I cant wait to show my wife tonight when she comes home from work. You are right, it encapsulates the book perfectly. Very much worth the wait. You are a genius. Thank you.

Great job! Thank you for putting the cover together so artistically. The colours are so “Turkish” and the lighting in the lower right corner gives a mystical air which is just what I wanted. The book looks great and your cover design really sets it off in a most interesting way, which will encourage readers to pick it up and check it out.

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into producing such an eye catching result. Thanks for keeping the process moving along with the printer as well.

Once again thank you so much for all the work you did and particularly for the patience you showed to me during your part of the process. It was all a foreign world to me and you took me through it without making me feel like I was a nuisance to you. Your suggestion, esp re photos/additions and finishing touches such as front cover, maps and section headers were invaluable in getting the book to a stage where I felt it took on the look of a real book rather than the manuscript I first gave you. Thank you for doing that for me and if I ever have another book I would certainly call you again. Not that I am even thinking of another book at this stage but I never say never!
Noela Steinfort, author of “We’ve Been There”

“Thanks for the five copies of the book. They look great”!
