What an incredible job Arjan did putting my book together. He is the consummate professional. He led me through every stage of the design process with incredibly detailed suggestions for every possibility. The front cover, the spine, the back, the interior layout, the amazing table of contents and chapter headings, the selection and presentation of pictures, and the small but vital finishing touches that created a sense of unique timelessness... it was perfect! I loved our journey. It was epic. The design and layout, the total “look and feel” of the book amazed everyone. Without Arjan, none of the thrill and pride that I’m feeling now would have been possible. I can never thank him enough.
