Delighted with Queen Victoria and the European Empires ! Many thanks again for publishing and all your help, and hereâs to success for both titles!
My name is James Smith. I'm the author of Along the Lines of Devotion. I received my author copies in and I absolutely love the book!
I have just received copies of my book Time Flies: Reflections of a Fighter Pilot and wish to pass on my compliments to the entire team on getting the book into print. I am absolutely delighted with the finished product - its look, its feel and the quality of the production!
I am most grateful for your work in getting my book - Patrolling the Cold War Skies: Reheat Sunset - into print. It is a unique opportunity for an author to get a book published and one that I am truly pleased to have been part of.
May I take the opportunity to thank you for accepting my book - Thor: Anatomy of a Weapon System. I am absolutely delighted with the finished product and hope that it is worthy of the faith that you have placed in it. Geoff.
I am writing to offer my sincere appreciation for all the hard work the team at Fonthill have put in for the publication of Agnetha Fältskog: The Girl With The Golden Hair. I received my copies of the book last weekend, and it really is great to see it in print! The photo section looks fabulous and it really is a handsome volume.
I would like to thank you (and I believe I can speak for Randy) for helping make Texans at Gettysburg: Blood and Glory with Hood's Texas Brigade be published. I have received so many compliments on the style and format of the book from all over the United States, the U.K. and around the world. It is truly a book that Randy and I are proud of. Being a first time author(s) can be quite intimidating, however, thanks to your great patience, and advice, you made this a good experience for us.
I had the box of Conquest of the Atlantic: Cunard Liners of the 1950s and 1960s delivered tonight. Just WONDERFUL ... SUPERB ... GLORIOUS...CONGRATULATIONS!The book is a superb creation, beautifully produced, splendidly laid-out ...Reads so well too ...I am happy & delighted & most grateful ...
I am really pleased with Blueprint for Victory - it has certainly got the thumbs up from everyone for quality/appearance/design so thanks for all your efforts. It's great that there are companies like yours that are willing to give first time authors a chance.
Now, how do I put this modestly: EVERYONE LOVES THE BOOK!!!!! I am getting so much feedback already from people who want to order books, and invitations to speak and do book signings from all sorts of museums, stores, libraries, universities, etc. I can't thank you enough for accommodating my hideously long text and juggling the images so they fit. I even spoke to a highly respected graphic designer who praised the book stock and reproduction of images.
