Guestbook

If you are looking for someone with experience designing books, you have come to the right place.  The results will be a professionally designed book, inside and out.  With twenty-five years' in this field, having worked on a wide variety of manuscripts, I know you will find my work to be of the highest quality.  I will also post your book on my website, which will provide you with free advertisement.

 

Although I specialize in designing book interior and cover designs, I also provide technical typing for textbooks, manuals and journal articles, to include scientific and mathematical equations, tables, graphics or photos, and marketing materials. 

 

Over sixty pieces of work became published books, the latest being Die Kindsmörderin, author Helga Stipa Madland, BookSurge Publishing, 2008 (166 pgs).

 

The two complete books I hand-typed, containing scientific and mathematical equations, are Analytical Fluid Dynamics, 2nd Edition, Author George Emanuel, CRC Press, 2000 (808 pgs) and Reservoir Formation Damage -- Fundamentals, Modeling, and Remediation, Author Faruk Civan, Gulf Publishing Publications, 2000 (752 pgs).

 

For the book, International Biographical Directory of National Archivists, Documentalists and Librarians, Editors Jeffrey Wilhite, Todd Kosmerick and Laurie Scrivener, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2000 (320 pgs), I designed a two-page form (see form, top right), mailed them to 213 countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and designed the format for book in order to type the information that was returned.

 

As the owner and designer, you need not worry that someone else will be working for you.  You will receive personal attention from our first contact with each other to the time your document is ready for printing or publishing.  Your design project will be in the hands of someone who cares about you and your project.
