A few words from our clients...

Jesus: The Life of a Cambridge College is, on any reckoning, a handsome volume and members and friends of the College have been delighted with it. BPC's superb publishing team - managing editor, book designer, copy editor, proofreaders, production manager - were a pleasure to work with, and not only because they were so keen to ensure that every aspect of the book was absolutely right. They provided its editor (me!) with all the support he could have hoped for.

Once again, working with BPC was more like fun than work. Where else do you get a designer who's cheerfully willing to comply with every new phase of the client's ideas (thank you, Pete), production people who give you the figures exactly as you want them and within hours of being asked (thank you Debbie), instant turn-round of copy with eagle-eyed editing (thank you Jo'e), coffee provided the minute you appear (thank you Jo) and sandwiches brought you by the boss (thank you Colin)? Not to mention a sumptuous product at a really reasonable rate, with no corners cut, delivered on time and to the right address. 25 years on from when I first used them, BPC are as good as ever.

The level of assistance, help and encouragement offered by BPC from the inception of this project to its completion has been exceptional. All involved have not only been extremely professional throughout but clearly also had a great strength of personal feeling for the book and this always gave one the feeling of working with a company for whom the customer clearly mattered. The design, production and editorial excellence of the company shone through from start to finish. The prospect of publishing a book is a daunting one but the path was smoothed all the way by BPC - I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Everyone here at Spencer Stuart is delighted with Spencer Stuart: The First Fifty Years. All the compliments are about the production & design, which seem to be exceeding everyone's expectations. I know that we forced you to tear up just about every production schedule you produced, nevertheless you always continued to pursue the best possible outcome for us. The design is really terrific, the format, paper quality, endpapers and bulk all perfect. The jacket finished off what is a really high quality production worthy of Spencer Stuart's 50th anniversary.

Excellent job! Can I just take this opportunity to thank you, Jo and Jo'e for your help in producing the book, it was hard work but we got there in the end! It certainly provided an interesting insight in to the publishing world! Next time I decide to write a book you'll be top of the list!

You'll be pleased to know that we are very happy with the end result and I've already had some very encouraging feedback from various people. Please pass on my thanks and congratulations to everyone at BPC for producing such an excellent result in such a short time. It was both fun and a pleasure working with your team again, all of whom continue to be so enthusiastic, accommodating, patient and understanding. They also have this fantastic ability of being able to maintain a "can do" approach, even under the most difficult circumstances and, at the same time, give the client the reassuring feeling that they the are the most important thing on their mind at that particular time.

This is just a note to say how magnificent I think the just published annual report is. It's stylish, meaty and easy on the eye and does us proud. The whole thing is a world away from the tired and turgid reports I edited for so many years and I think everyone connected with the project deserves huge congratulations.

We were aiming very high, in terms of book production, and you can't be an expert in everything. We saw that at the outset we needed to hire really experienced people in the field of book-production. We went to BPC, whose staff from the top downwards were extremely supportive. Since 1997 they have helped us product eight volumes, all of which have reaped high praise

You really have achieved something for us that we couldn't have done here (not without me having a nervous breakdown, I assure you!)

I am writing to record my thanks and sincere appreciation for BPC's help and assistance in producing The History of General Accident. The book has now been fully distributed throughout the world and has, without exception, been very well received.

.Stephanie was the perfect project manager with the project being achieved on time and within budget and Peter Young's style was ideal for producing a serious company history but one that is very readable. CGU (now CGNU) considers itself to have been well served.

Richard Whitaker - Group Company Secretary, CGNU plc (Now AVIVA plc)

We are absolutely delighted with the book and have received nothing but favourable comments. Let us hope that we will speak about a reprint order!

Personally I think it looks great and so does everyone else at the college.

As a major charity, our publishing needs are complex and wide-ranging. BPC has always responded swiftly and sensitively to those needs, and with real understanding of the NCT ethos.

Belinda Phipps - Chief Executive, National Childbirth Trust

The main challenge of our publications lies in their detailed complexity. It is a considerable organisational and logistical task to co-ordinate and manage a variety of continually changing information.

For 10 years BPC has demonstrated a proven ability to deliver our publications to high standards of editorial and production quality whilst consistently achieving revenue targets.
