Testimonials

Of Railway to the Moon—the official centennial history of Loma Linda University and Medical Center (Southern California):

“The best history ever written about a church-owned institution.”

—LLUAHSC administrative staff

“I appreciated your total commitment to the project and professionalism as you edited and designed the book.

“You were able to keep the author’s idea while presenting the material in the best possible form for the benefit of the reader. This talent was most valuable as portions of the material required repositioning and a thorough and professional edit.

“I found you to be a creative genius with attention to detail. Seemingly small tasks such as choosing the exact font and print style for this 400-page book were given equal importance to the other aspects of the book. This resulted in copy that is easily read and far superior to normal books in print.

“You are honest and have integrity and I found you to be a superb manager and coordinator of services when it was necessary to obtain services Page One Communications did not provide, such as printing and binding.

“Thank you for a job well done. You are the best editor and designer in the world and worth a hundred times what you charge. I'll use you again when we revise the book.”

—Grant Hall, Author,PRIVACY CRISIS: Identity Theft Protection Plan and Guide to Anonymous Living
