Anton F.
Edinburgh, United KingdomSimon's typesetting and formatting skills are phenomenal, in fact his skills in all areas of this hourlie are phenomenal, the final result being outstanding. Yet for all his talent his real strength is in his work ethos, his enthusiasm, his desire to produce the best result for his clients. Great communication and always upbeat, I could go on for pages, but in brief, Simon delivers, period.

Chelmsford, United KingdomI had not worked with Simon before. He hadn't worked on an academic book before, I think-or not one with Latin or Greek and English on facing pages. But he rolled with it very well. He produced material very fast, and was very responsive to messages and emails. The book was not entirely complete when I contacted him; his speed and professionalism were such as to motivate both editor and author to get that last 1% done, and the whole process went through like an express-train. I would use him again, and I would recommend him to anyone. He was familiar with Lulu.com and Lightning Source and their requirements; perfectly at home with Adobe InDesign, and he also found some cover photographs for me. Excellent value.
