"The new April [magazines] look great as always. Your team does an excellent printing job."

"I (we) greatly appreciate all the extra efforts Allen Press takes on our behalf."

"Too often we thoughtlessly neglect to thank those who work so hard to help keep things running seamlessly.  I want to thank you for keeping this somewhat difficult issue on track for publication…. I and the Foundation truly appreciate it.”

“Thank you for getting the [paper]  and the Preface back to us in record time!  I cannot express how grateful I am. [We] will be able to get started on pulling 46-3 together before I retire. Thanks to you, everything will be in good order…. It has been a great pleasure working with you for these few short months. You really make your clients look good. You and Allen Press are the best!”

“Thanks for tackling the problem so quickly.  We really appreciate the professional way Allen Press handles all problems and non-problems!”

“I took the time today to look at almost every page of the June 2009 Issue of the [Journal] which arrived in my absence. I was very pleased with it (and will admit to being biased) as it looks great. Please relay my thanks to the staff at Allen Press and yourself in making us look very good. Thank you for a job well done.”

“Fantastic! In fact, a few minutes ago, our biology delivery person handed me the FedEx priority overnight copy of the July issue. Looks great! It shows the usual Allen Press production excellence.”

“Just a quick message to tell you that I received [the Journal] and how pleased I am with my article. The presentation is amazing and I feel so proud. Thanks for all your efforts on my behalf (including coloured graphs) and also to staff at Allen Press for the high-quality journal production.”

“…got the advance shipment this morning—looks great. I appreciate all your help.”

“I just got my hard copy of the October issue of [the Journal]. Looks great!  Each issue, I learn a few more things I should do next time ... but I wanted to thank you folks over at AP for the great job you do with the layouts, etc. This has been one of those weeks full of nasty surprises, but [the Journal] was a pleasure to see today! Thanks much.”

“The Jan-Feb issue looks excellent. Please give my thanks to the pressmen involved for matching the proofs so well.”

“I also wish to say that I have received excellent advice and service from past account managers … and now receive from the current account manager. They are great people to work with.”

“I'm enjoying working with you already! Good news!  I got the back issues of the Dec '06 Journal, so it seems the mail drop is about to be made to the membership.  Thanks for all your hard work and your staff as well.” 

“I wanted to send you all a quick note of thanks for the magazine. What a great job! We have received nothing but compliments on it. Thanks for all your hard work.”

“Thanks again to you and the production staff at Allen Press. The Fall 2008 issue of [the publication] looks wonderful.”

“From the perspective of an American living in Europe, I can assure you that the service given us by Allen Press is certainly part of what makes the American ideal of "customer service" something truly real and believable and enviable, in marked contrast to what one often finds even in a very rich and highly developed country like Switzerland.”

“I'd just like to tell you all once more how much I've enjoyed working with you. You are true professionals and take a lot of pride in your work, as do we on the Journals, and it's been a pleasurable and rewarding partnership.”

“We have received the … publication and distributed many of the copies.  The response to the new layout and four-color cover has been very positive.  I give a great deal of the credit for this success to you and to others at Allen Press.  As usual the final product that you produce is always worth the hard work and frustrations along the way. Thanks very much for your patience and hard work on our behalf.”

“The [book] has arrived safely at two of the destinations…. They look great! Far better than anyone would expect for a conference guidebook. "Awesome" is the average response so far. Thanks for all the guidance and encouragement!” 

“I appreciate all that Allen Press does for us in producing our journal.”

“You and your staff did a bang-up job on issue 71/4 with those … figures and compressing the … list to one page.”

“[By the way], I meant to tell you how pleased I was with the last issue. Your team did a great job. I only wish I would've changed printers earlier!

“You and the staff of Allen Press have done an excellent job with production of this Issue; the Frontispiece art … looks very nice, as does all of the material. It is a very tight package with little 'blank' or 'white' material at the end. Thank you for helping make the [Journal] look good.”

“I cannot thank you enough for the excellent support that you have provided to [the Journal] over the year. Your sincere dedication to the task of producing the highest quality journal possible is greatly appreciated.”

“The Editor's copies of the December 2008 Issue have arrived and I am very pleased. It looks great…. You know that I am always somewhat anxious about the December Issue each year and Allen Press always comes through to relieve my concerns. Thanks for making us look competent.”

“I have been extremely satisfied with all of you at Allen Press and I often let the Board know that.”

“Got the copies of the December issue last week ... I think they look great.  Thanks for all the help on that.  It was very nice to get a quality end product after all the months of work.”

I was out of the office yesterday and STUNNED to get back today and find [the Journal] on my desk. It looks great—thank you so much for all of your help and patience in working through a greater than usual number of blueline changes and still getting this off press so quickly. I really appreciate it.

“The [Magazine] arrived Friday. Many thanks for all you do to get our magazine published in great order! This issue looks great in Allen Press' hands.”

“Both the Seattle office and I got our boxed issues of the current [issue] earlier this week, and we all agree that the magazine is very well printed. The color balance is "true" and the paper is whiter than what we had before…Thanks for a fine job.”

“You folks did a wonderful job on this [reprint]. Cheryl told me of the extra effort required to make the art acceptable, and you certainly pulled it off.” 

“Both the Seattle office and I got our boxed copies of the current [Issue] earlier this week, and we all agree that the magazine is very well printed.  The color balance is ‘true’ and the paper is whiter than what we had before. Thanks for a fine job.”
 

“In all the rush yesterday I forgot to congratulate you on the wonderful lineup of ads for October… great job!”

“The magazine does look great. Thanks so much to you and Allen Press and all involved.”

Please do thank everyone for taking such good care of me (and the journal) last week.  [The pressmen] were great to work with on press, the food in the customer lounge was perfect, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to spend some time with you.

“Just wanted to say my first issue of the journal looks great and I'm getting compliments on it from everyone who sees it. So, it took a while but the end result is high quality. Nice work!”

“You guys are really good!”

“I would like to thank you for making the newsletter such a successful enterprise…I recall when you first took [it] over, you really helped establishing continuity in the process and the transition was flawless. Thank you so much again for all you do for the Society and the journal and it has been a real pleasure working with you.”
 

“Thanks to you and every one at Allen Press for the fine printed product.  Each board member was pleased and impressed.”

“I just wanted to thank you for all you help, and remaining good-natured even when I was fussing. It would have been a lot more burdensome without your assistance. Thanks very much.”

“I am looking at the hard copy of the Jan/Feb [issue], and it isn't even February yet! I am SO happy that this issue came out early, thanks for all you did to make it so!

Thanks Hilary,
Just got my copy of 102.2 and it looks really nice.  You all do nice work.

I received copies of the Journal yesterday; this issue looks really good; thanks to you all for another fine job getting the journal into shape for printing and especially for getting it out during the month that is listed on the cover. That hasn’t happened for a while.

Most CSE members have now received their copies of the September/October issue in the mail. You may have noticed a change in the paper used both for the cover and the text pages. I’m happy to report that this paper is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and contains 10% recycled postconsumer waste. I’d also like to thank Allen Press, our printer, for their committment to environmental sustainability.

Please let everyone at Allen Press who worked on the journal, from composition through printing to shipping, know how grateful we are for your great work.

One of the very best things about our relationship with Allen Press is the personal responsiveness of the press whenever questions or problems arise. I really value the fact that when I call or send a message I promptly get a reply from a human (not some automated response), that the response "makes sense" and is helpful, resolving my problem, and that I do not have to wait days to find out.

Great looking issue.  I really like the look of the table of contents...very eye-appealing.  Also, the recognition of our award recipients is nicely done.

The catalogs  are magnificent! The artist has said that they are the most beautiful he has had, and the designer is very pleased, as well.

Thanks so much. We appreciate your help and the usual fine service Allen Press has always given us.

The Magazine looks fantastic and delivery went smoothly as well.
Please pass my compliments along to your staff.

I just wanted to follow up with you by saying, thank you thank you thank you!!

The fact that Allen Press is willing to make the corrections to (Journal), and to absorb the costs of doing so, really reflects on your commitment to quality and customer service. I cannot tell you how appreciative I am for this!

Clearly, we are all learning new processes, so we can all just consider this a learning experience and move on from it all the wiser.

Once again, I’d like to express my gratitude to you and to Allen Press for making our inaugural issue with you perfect!

Thanks so much for sending the Bulletin and having it arrive Monday. It is already distributed within the medical center. And, for some reason, the Bulletin looks crystal clear to me with this issue, so I'm wondering if you are using new paper or are printing it in a different way. It always looks great but this issue really shines.
