"Thank you very much for your and Theresa's support throughout the process of producing Pleasure, Privilege, Privations, your timely delivery and the nicely produced book. We and the other authors were very pleased." Best regards
Dr Claudia Sternberg
University of Leeds

"The book is phenomenal! Beyond expectations! Absolutely gorgeous! We are so very pleased with the quality, the spine width (you were right), the paper (good choice on the silk), the weight and the print color (perfect spot-on match to Rob’s original artwork). Thank you, Nigel, for putting up with us throughout this process of printing our first book. You were patient with our questions and concerns and steadily offered the best advice throughout. We couldn’t be more pleased with not only the book but also the experience with Biddles. Fantastic."
Doris Weldon Kaz

"I really recommend Biddles for new, self-publishing authors. They offer a friendly, professional service from start to finish, and I'm very happy indeed with the look and feel of my books. Thanks again!"
Lindsay Sharman

"We've just received the shipment of my latest Novel 'The Last Letters of Jesus' from you and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team; the quality of the printing is exceptional - I never dreamed that my book would ever look so impressive.

It should also be noted that your cheerful patience and kind advice made the whole experience of doing business with you a pleasure.

We look forward to sending you more work very shortly."

Kindest regards and thanks
Mike A. Sebastian
