Our clients come to us for a variety of reasons. Some want to produce books as gifts to mark an anniversary, while others want to use their book as a marketing tool, or to raise funds for their charity.
Some clients use the book to enhance their existing offering, using it within gift bundles for their customers or making it available in their restaurants as an additional purchase. One of our most recent titles, Chefs at Home, was a Times bestseller.
