Great place to work with. I had a small 10 books to get and they did it at a fair price and in a timely manner. I will be giving them work again definitely! Cindy in the front office was amazing and helped me through the process of ordering and when I picked up I got a nice tour on how the books are made (I also work in printing) it was great! Thank you BNB

It couldn't get any worse. The customer service was so terrible, that I decided against having them publish our book. They don't return phone calls and are unpleasant to deal with once someone decides to call you back. Better luck elsewhere.

Lady on the phone was extremely rude. Never have I been spoke to like that before. I wouldn't recommend this company or their customer service to my worst enemy.
