I am very impressed with Print on Demand Worldwide in many respects, from the initial set up and guidance by Curtis, through to the help of Jen, and those who have be diligent in the production process itself, I thank you all! They understand the personal connection is so important for the customer, something that seems to be lost on many other companies. Producing your own book, as in my case, can be a massive undertaking and took 5 years of research, and I needed that reassurance that the finished product will look as professional as possible to compete. I am pleased to say POD delivered on every

We worked with PODWW to print our bi-annual comic book for young ecoWarriors. Our account manager, Curtis, held our hand through the entire process, assisted when our digital files were slightly off spec, and made sure we hit the fine delivery timelines - he made the process so reassuring for us. The end quality was better than expected. We will be back to use their Print on Demand option soon, and look forward to publishing the next annual with them too! Thank you!

All-round excellence. Essays about the Great War was my first attempt at managing all the phases of getting a book into print, from writing to copy in hand. Printondemand-Worldwide was the final step. That the firm produced just what I wanted was also due to the unstinting assistance of Curtis Roberts-Argrave who found himself dealing with a digitally illiterate writer. Excellent quality married to excellent value, with punctuality, precision and courtesy all the way.

Absolutely awful experience with PODWW on our first book. Extremely poor lapses in communication, continued "machine-breakdowns" when deadlines are approaching and very poor quality printing with a great level of disparity in quality amongst numerous copies of the same publication.
Overall, for the price we have paid combined with the service/print-quality received, I would be certain in not recommending PODWW to any of my colleagues and peers. They attempt to give the impression of a caring company who put you, the authors, right at the centre of the process, yet when they continually make

I am the founder and owner of WRITERSWORLD, a leading self-publishing company that has exclusively used the excellent services of Printondemand-worldwide for many years. You might have the best book distribution service and the best book promotion service etc., but none of that matters if you do not have a UK-based printer like Printondemand-worldwide. The quality of the paper and printing is superb, and their treatment of our clients who can buy their books directly at contract rates is superb. The service we have had for years has always been superb, and I can recommend them wholeheartedly
