To Phil and every one at Signature Book Printing,  

Thank you sooooo much for such a wonderful product.  People love the look of my poetry book!  They comment on the quality and the cover like it's the best thing since sliced bread.  Aquiring your services is the best decision I've made so far this year.  Your customer service and professionalism set a real precedent.  And the end result...WOW!  I am completely impressed and will be using your services as often as I need book printing.  I will also do my best to reference business your way.  Thanks again!

I highly recommend Phil Nanzetta and Signature Book Printing.  I live overseas and had no experience in book printing before contacting him. I received personal attention, quick feedback, speed of production, and a very high quality final product. Shipping was also of a very good quality; the books arrived on the island without damage, even after ocean shipping

In particular, I'd like to stress the easy communication with Phil Nanzetta.  Emails and questions were returned within hours.  Sending documents back and forth was without problem and a very fast and easy process.  Phil was always willing to find solutions to all my inexperienced questions and requests.

I did a lot of due diligence before I spent my hard earned money publishing not only a book, but my first one.  It was a tremendously scary undertaking since I did it from scratch by reading hundreds of pages on the internet. After being made comfortable with the language on Phil's www.sbpbooks.com web page, I called to inquire further.  I am very pleased to say that from the start (even before deciding to make Signature Book Printing my printer) to the finish (receiving and now selling a very high quality product), I made the right choice in working with this firm.  From the pleasant customer service of Erinn, to bookkeeping with Linda and last but not least, the "hand holding" from Phil himself, I can not give a stronger recommendation!

My sincere thanks and loyalty!

Books received last Friday.  They look super.  I appreciate the professional and user friendly way in which you conduct business.  One of the keys to my favorable impression is your "thin" organization design.  Other houses have driven me to distraction because the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.  Your hands work perfectly! Kudos, and I can't wait to write another book for you to handle.  Also was pleased with the cover design - really gives the book a nice punch.  you can use me as a reference anytime.

Oh, and by the way....

{quoting from Signature's quote form}
Our prices are complete, and they are for exact quantity. We suggest that when you are comparing costs, you watch out for hidden charges in some printers' quotes; these may be listed as administrative fees, proofs, proof shipment, 10% overs, and other tricks that make it tough to see the actual cost.

I know this is standard language in your quotes, but I have to comment...  There is no need to do that comparison.  Of all the printers I've checked out for this project, your company is the most cost effective while still maintaining high quality.

BTW, I grew up with a family run mailing and printing company, so I'm rather picky.

I am pleased to write this letter of reference and endorsement for Signature Book Printing and Phil Nanzetta. I want to let the world know that this book printer is, without doubt, the company you want to work with if you are thinking of publishing a book, whether it’s your first or your 10th book. In my work as an editorial consultant, I have helped three authors publish their books using Signature and the results have always been truly a dream. Furthermore, when I had the chance to start my own publishing company, I did not hesitate to do so because I knew I had the printing part of the equation all lined up. I knew I could count on Signature to help me, guide me, and provide great printing. The entire team at this company is exceptional, with personal service beyond comparison. Phil Nanzetta goes out of his way, time after time, to respond to your emails quickly, to inform and update you on the status of your project, and to live up to his word. More than once, Signature has provided me with beyond-the-line-duty service.

In one case, I consulted on a book project for a nonagenarian who was writing his life memoir. He had founded a hospital in Los Angeles and was a well-known figure in the community. We wanted to publish a hard-cover edition of his book in time for the author’s 97th birthday in just 30 days!!! And Phil Nanzetta got the job done for us in a beautiful book in 30 days time.

I have now founded my own publishing company, the Creativity Coaching Association Press (see www.cca-press.com), focusing on books about creativity and a creative lifestyle. Signature has printed two press runs of my new book, Inspiring Creativity, and I hope you will take a look at my book if you are interested in this subject area. I invite you to email me at publisher@cca-press.com if you would like further details about my experiences with Signature Book Printing a company that I highly recommend to any author or publisher who is looking for a quality printer with extremely high standards of professionalism and personal service.

Yours sincerely,

Rick Benzel

Phil - I want to thank you for the way in which you (personally) and SBP (corporately) handled printing my book "Deny Them the Night Sky". Every aspect of the transaction, start to finish, was at the highest level of professionalism - not to mention you folks being about as user-friendly as humanly possible. The advice you gave was uniformly superb and timely (including the info you volunteered when I didn't know what to ask!), and the level of help went far beyond what one might expect. The book is oversized, complex, and not short at 520 pages, including the color section. Your advice greatly improved the final product, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. No glitches at all. Everything you said would happen occurred as planned, on schedule, at the cost quoted. This was my first publishing venture, so I knew zilch about the realities of the process - believe me, if and when I do this again, you folks will simply get my business no questions asked. I've already recommended you to a couple of friends, and would be happy to field any requests you may have from potential customers for references.

The UPS shipment of books arrived today. We are absolutely pleased with the final product as these books look far greater than our expectation. The lay-flat-matte cover is truly a lay flat (being tested well in our very humid day today), unlike our first edition of a promised lay flat (including extra charges) where the covers instantly curled as if they were placed in hair curlers. The quality of paper and printing also have a welcoming invite to the book, it feels good and looks good. Unlike our first edition, we can proudly let these books go into the public.

We also wanted to say to you that we are very fortunate to have crossed paths with Signature Book Printing; your  printing company does what it promises. You have been right up front with us about your materials, costs, and schedules. From our previous experience with another book printing company, we felt ripped off with expensive extra costs and a promised product that was far inferior to our agreement and expectations. We'd recommend you in a heart beat (and  already have) to anyone interested in knowing about our experience or possibly wanting to publish. I truly hope our books will sell and disappear like hot cakes so we will have to go into another printing with you in the future.

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did printing Celebrate! ADHD. It really looks fantastic--the cover is phenomenal and the quality just superb. We are thrilled with the book and your service.

Thanks again and we'll hopefully be in touch soon with a new order

Phil, Thank you for every thing.  The book looks fantastic and the public is very happy with it, as am I.

Thank you for making my dreams come true.

I wanted to thank you for the fine quality work you did on my book, "Deal With It!"  I have not yet begun to market this book on a broad basis, but already I’ve sold over 600 copies through word-of-mouth.  At $19.95 a copy that means the project is officially profitable!

Keep the template fresh - a second edition is almost a certainty!

If you’re ever working with a potential client who is looking for a reference, feel free to share my contact information.

Thanks again,

I just wanted to let you know that the books are fantastic. You guys really did a great job, and did it ahead of time, to boot. Definitely the best experience we've had with a printer.

We'll be doing our third issue this summer, most likely printing in July, and we're definitely planning to print with you again.

 
Thanks!

I don’t know if I had given you feedback on the recent job you did for us (The Horologion, Book of Hours). This, in addition to the previous job you did for us are absolutely beautifully done. In addition, as I have tried to communicate on previous occasions, I thank you for your work. You and your company do a great job at a competitive price. It is a pleasure and it is easy doing business with you. This is customer service at its finest! I commend you and your employees for following through on your promise of great service.

I wanted to pass this along. I was just reading prayers from the Horologion, and now that I have finished, I wanted to pass along these thoughts.

Have a great weekend. God-willing, as future business opportunities arise, I hope and expect that we will continue this very pleasurable business relationship.

One of our customers, Mary D. Osborne, responded to a request for information from a potential customer as follows:

Hi, Julie:
 
I found my experience with Signature Book Printers a very satisfactory one.  I was a little leery at first, because, to be honest, I didn't think their Website looked glitzy or sophisticated enough.  However, it was more informative and straight-forward than most others I'd visited. I didn't feel stupid for not knowing all the printing lingo, since it was explained so nicely on their site.  Phil Nanzetta was very helpful, very businesslike and no-nonsense.  Whatever was stated on their Website was true.  Their turn-around time on the proofs was a week.  It actually took a little less time for my book to be printed than anticipated (I think less than 4 or 5 weeks).  Shipping was the only snag, and that wasn't much of a problem--I live in Wisconsin and the weather was actually the culprit there.  I'm anticipating printing a second children's book with Signature, I hope in September, as well as a technical book of my husband's on stuttering management (also in September). I'm looking forward to working with them again, and I don't think you'd go wrong to print [your book] with them.  Plus, they give your completed book a nice little Web page (like the one you saw for THE BOY WHO LOVE THE SHIM-SHAM SHIMMY).  I've also had a lot of good feedback on the quality of the book printing from bookstore owners, etc.
 
Hope that answers your questions.  I think it's smart to check with some of their customers.  I never even thought of doing that! Doi!
 
Hope things go well with you (You'd better be ready to market, market, market, market once your book is published--that's the hardest part of all!)

Dear Phil,
 
I have to say- this has been a very pleasurable and the most EASY relationship that we have had related to printing.  We will continue to use your services for everything I write!!  I am also
referring you to everyone I know so don't be surprised if you start getting phone calls starting with "Kimberly told me to call you..."
 
I will also be sending you the writeup for your web site as well so we can take advantage of that service as well.  Many thanks!!!!

The books look AMAZING - many thanks to you, Phil, and the entire staff who made this experience seem so simple. I cannot say enough good things about working with your company - quick responses to questions, assistance throughout the process, friendly and knowledgeable staff, fairly priced, quality work...what more could one want from a company?!!

So....on behalf of Bethany Church here in LaPorte, IN....thanks again, so much. Everyone is thrilled with the finished product.

Blessings to you and your family as well and may you have a wonderful Christmas.

A pleasure doing business with you!

My father-in-law sent us our copies of Essentials of Living and I am so pleased with the outcome. They are beautiful and the quality is excellent. You have delivered all that you promised and relieved all my anxieties about doing business "sight-unseen". Thanks for helping to make CC Thomas' dream come true!

Thanks,
Sandra Thomas



It's been great working with you.  Here's a quote for  your testimonial page in case you want to add it.

After scouring the Web in search of a printer for my father's memoirs, I ended up finding one just down the road in  Gaithersburg.  But it wasn't the convenient location that sold me; Signature's straightforward approach to business and pricing convinced me that the staff really understood the needs of someone who was self-publishing.

Phil was prompt in his responses, thoughtful in his answers, and good to his word.  When my amateur attempts at cover design weren't quite up to the task, his staff delivered a quality revision at a fair price.  The results were exactly what I was looking for - a smart-looking book that my parents and their friends will treasure for many years.

Since Signature Book Printing does most of its work with people they never meet, perhaps the best insight I can give someone looking for a printer is that I have now met Phil and his staff and have seen his printing facility.  I can tell you that they are as professional and honest as they appear on their website.  They do high-quality work and they keep their commitments.  Without hesitation, I would recommend Signature to anyone looking for a fair price on quality book printing.

I was at the end of my rope, having been screwed by my publisher (-------), and had to find a printer fast in order to get my  baseball book out in time for baseball season (it was already  May).  My publisher told me that it would take 5 weeks to  "possibly" get books and they would cost $4.00 per copy.  We had to go to lawyers to get out of our deal with him.

Mr. Nanzetta and Signature Books came highly recommended, but I was still skeptical.  Being shrewd (neurotic?), I asked Phil about 8 questions a day. He answered every one in detail, no matter how inane, or redundant, and each within a few hours of my e-mails to him. (editor's note:  this is not to encourage 8 inane or redundant questions a day) Finally, I jumped in with his company and he had the books done in two weeks and for over $1.00 less per book.  Plus, they looked flawless -- unlike our publisher's version.

It's been night and day from my initial experience in the book  world.  I couldn't be happier or more impressed.

I wanted to take time to express my appreciation for all the help and assistance you have given in the printing and publication of my books. As you are probably aware, I am not an experienced young writer. I have forgotten more about writing from my school and college days than I remember. Self-learning and remembering computer and word processing has not been easy. Please thank Linda Wood and others for the excellent help.

Back when I began looking for a company to print the first book, I found it to be a long and arduous task. During the search I learned to be cautious because of my inexperience in the field, although I consider myself experienced and successful in other undertakings. The purpose of my writing now is not financial gain. "You" have helped fulfill that purpose.

In the future I plan writing other books. If I am able to complete them, I hope you are there to assist - as you have with my present books.

We have used three printers over the past eight years and Signature Book Printing is hands down the best. They do what they say they will and when they say.  They are very helpful with ideas, have good cover artists available for a very reasonable fee, turn the book around quickly and are very responsive. We have used them three times since 2004 and have been very pleased. Some printers use pricing "tricks", such as giving themselves the contractual right to be 10% above or below the requested number of copies--Signature does not do that. I would give them my highest endorsement.

It is a distinct pleasure to recommend Signature Book Printing. The finished product of my book was very high quality and outstanding, especially the beautiful four-color cover. Phil Nanzetta and Linda Wood are true professionals -- their customer service was "second to none". Questions I had about my book were answered promptly and professionally.

Signature's website is outstanding and HONEST. Everything they advertise is true -- nothing is "hidden" like on other book publishing web sites. Keep my "printing plates" handy -- future reprintings of Mayday! are a certainty. I'm currently writing another book; Signature will be printing that one too!
