Darryl Greer I am delighted with the production quality of my book "The Election" and in fact my editor, an experienced professional, had this to say:                                                                                                   "...I think the cover captures the genre, mood, and theme of your book, wonderfully...I hadn't heard of Love of Books before but I'm impressed.   They have used a really good legible font and I do like the size of it - I can read it without my glasses!  Terrific margin space and lots of white space on the pages, all of which makes your book very reader-friendly." The Election: ..'When racism is allowed to get out of control it can wreak havoc - even in one of the world's most politically stable nations.'

Joan Small I am delighted with the quality of service and the price provided by Love of Books. I had published my books with  another publisher, but switched to Love of Books when a friend recommended the company and I saw the presentation of her book. Thankyou Julie for the care and attention you paid to getting my books and covers just right, and your prompt, efficient and 'loving' service. I have recommended another to you, and will continue to come back.  My three books, 'The Energy Book for Life', 'Clear Your Mind, and 'Faith, Confidence and Being Your Best' look fabulous.

Robert  And Larrane Qld  Recently, we used the services of ‘Love of Books’ to professionally print a family history book we had written as a family keepsake.   Having no previous experience in printing a book, and having a deadline to meet, we needed to ascertain how to go about it, the formatting requirements, how long it would take and the cost. We wanted personal contact with someone we could discuss these issues with face to face, rather than trying to deal with a faceless person over the internet or telephone. When we first made contact with Julie McGregor, Director of ‘Love of Books’ she fully appreciated our needs and arranged to meet us.  Julie readily answered all our queries and it soon became apparent that she was technically across all the issues involved in getting a book printed. She assured us that our deadline could meet.  What impressed us most was that Julie was genuine and straightforward in all her answers and came across as someone we believed we could rely on.   From this initial meeting until the final draft for printing, a time frame that also included having to have a book cover designed, we found that Julie made herself willingly available by email, telephone or personal contact. She promptly answered and addressed any issues or problems as they arose. Her diligence took any possible frustration and stress out of the whole process making it an overall enjoyable experience. Not only was it possible to get our book printed but it was to our satisfaction and within our tight deadline.   Our experience with ‘Love of Books’ was a very positive one and we have no hesitation in recommending Julie McGregor to anyone who may be thinking of printing or publishing a book.    Robert & Larrane McDonald Highland Park, Queensland  24th Sept 2008                                                   R & L McDonald

Belle Page Love of Books offers outstanding self publishing and printing services. I am amazed at the excellent quality of their printing and the rate is also very reasonable. I do highly commend Love of Books to any authors. Do not look any more overseas. We have what we need here; the staff at Love of Books Seldf Publishing Success are competent and always ready to assist us. Bravo Julie!    In this anthology of French poetry, we shall travel through the centuries with the poets who not only improved French language but left to the world one of the most beautiful literary heritages. From the night of time, all forms of beauty have impressed men and women; unsurprisingly, poetry and music have always occupied a privileged place in their heart.                                                              www.bellepage.com                                                        Christiane Guise - Author

Alice Nelson I have been incredibly impressed with the outstanding, professional publishing service provided by Love of Books publishers. Our publishing consultant worked with us every step of the way to ensure that we had a beautifully produced publication. I have worked with publishers and printers for many years and have never experienced such individualised service and attention to detail. Love of Books is also an extremely affordable publishing option – I honestly don’t know how they can provide such a cost-effective book publishing solution!

Carol Boyd I can not thank Julie enough for all the help and assistance she has given me over the last six months. She has enabled a dream to become a reality. Julie has assisted me in so many ways – in practical terms with page set up, page numbering, fonts etc. With guidance in formats, marketing ideas and formalities. She was always available and always promptly replied to my emails (and they were numerous). And my cover design – everyone loves it and comments on its professional appearance.   Thanks again Julie, I couldn’t have done it without you.       A cookbook with a difference.

Norman McVicker I chose Love of Books because of the service offered. I was not disappointed. This was my first attempt at self publishing. In the early stages Julie was most helpful. My emails were answered promptly and the advice I received was clear and concise. When publication date drew close “Love of Books” met the deadlines at all stages. The help I received relieved the stress of waiting for the book to arrive and Julie deserves a big “thank you”.

The emphasis has always been on History, places, people events and the era which they occur.  What a fabulous book and contribution to the community. www.budgeebudgee.com                                               Norman McVicker

Sandy Norrie   I want to thank you Julie for being so helpful.  I had no idea when I undertook this project what I was doing, all I knew is that I wanted to put my dad's words in writing for my family and future generations.  You were so helpful and supportive all along the way and nothing was too much trouble.  I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this without your help and advice and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.   Sandy Norrie

Judel Leoni The staff at Love of Books were wonderful in helping me achieve the desired effect before my book went to print.  Julie spent untold hours with me via email and on the phone and I can't thank her enough as I am totally delighted with the result. They really stand by their belief that with a little help publishing a book is achievable.      Judel Leoni

Margaret Finger I am happy to recommend Love of Books publishing to any prospective author. I found Julie to be most professional and very competitive in her pricing. She went out of her way to make sure the book was printed in the time-frame we had agreed upon. What I especially thank her for was the way she made herself available to be contacted seven days a week. Not for the Faint Hearted- Eliza’s Story is a memoir book set in the last half of the nineteenth century. Eliza relates how her family took up a virgin block of land in the Central Highlands region of Queensland. It is a story of hardship told with a great deal of humour and she also tells of the struggle between the pioneers and the indigenous people in that time of our history.   mfinger@bigpond.net.au                                    Margaret Finger

Claire Barnes As a novice author about to publish her first book I knew little about publishing and marketing. Then at a dinner party I heard people speaking about Self Publishing and its many benefits opposed to using a main-stream publishing company. The next day on the internet I discovered 'Love of Books' Self Publishers and after speaking with Director Julie McGregor I felt so at ease and confident with my new venture that I didn't search the internet any further.   I have never regretted my decision to employ 'Love of Books' as my publisher and appreciate all the personal one on one effort Julie has afforded me during these past months. Certainly well over and above the friendly assistance I ever expected and a special thanks for your patience with all the changes I kept making to the colours and format of the cover.   I strongly recommend 'Love of Books' to anyone in a similar situation and happy to support this testimonial.   Claire Barnes  A fun book about the life of a hairdresser and the encounters of the staff and customers.

Justin Gallagher Writing a book seemed daunting enough let alone working out how to create a cover, get it edited and then finally published. Julie and The Love of Books team made my experience of getting my book out there incredibly easy. Julie's prompt and helpful advice made the process seamless and I was amazed at how little I actually had to do. Self publishing with The Love of Books gave me the flexibility to do exactly what I wanted and Julie allowed me to take the time to make sure it was perfect. I am delighted with the final product and couldn't recommend The Love of Books highly enough, thanks Julie.

Colin and Emma Aynsley    I would like to thank you for all the work you did in helping us publish Emma’s book.Without your help it would have been impossible.I appreciated the kind way you dealt with us, the fantastic ideas you had and the prompt way that you dealt with our requests.   The book 'Plane Crazy' presents very well and has sold out. Most of this I am sure is in the presentation that you helped us with.   I would like to recommend you to others as I feel your company gives superior service at a reasonable cost. In fact I believe it is excellent value for money.   We are about to release our second book and are looking forward to your new ideas to incorporate into Plane Crazy 2.   Many thanks for your assistance with our book.   Colin and Emma Aynsley Colin and Emma Aynsley

For someone at age 73, very inexperienced at writing but having a desire to write an economical cookbook, Julie has made the process a wonderful  experience for me. She is professional, patient, creative and has been very helpful each step of the way. I am so happy I chose julie@loveofbooks.com.au.   Barbara Hillier.   Barbara Hillier

Zillah Williams I was very pleased to find Love of Books when I was looking for a way to self-publish my book Healing is a Way of Life. Love of Books, having the advantage of being based in Australia, made self-publishing a real option for me. As I went through the process, Julie, the Director, was extremely helpful - patiently answering my questions, either by email or phone. She made the process an interesting and rewarding experience. I feel that I have gained a friend, not just a business contact, and can thoroughly recommend Love of Books, especially for Australian authors.   Zillah Williams                        For purchasing enquiries: zillahw@tadaust.org.au Writer; Freelance Editor   Zillah Williams
