Friesens commitment to providing excellent service and products is evident through their knowledgeable sales staff and quality products. What makes Friesens extraordinary, though, is their support and commitment to publishing communities.

I’ve printed six color illustrated books at Friesens. I’m always delighted when Friesens wins a bid, because the level of professionalism of the staff and the quality of their work is top-notch. Whether I’m on press or relying on my CSR and the press operators, I know I’m going to be happy with the results. Friesens staff genuinely takes pride in their work. A wall full of prizes and awards testifies to their skill and dedication.

Michael Makin President and CEO Printing Industries of America

I’ve printed 4 books with Friesens over the last 3 years and their support in all departments in consistent, patient, professional, and like clock work. They have worked with me on deadlines, production issues I was unfamiliar with and confused by, delivery options, and absolutely every other issue I had facing me, From my sales representative to customer service people, to the folks in proofing production, everyone is easy to work with and a crucial member of my ‘team’. I never doubt the quality of the product which is always received in a timely manner.

Mary Jo Fay, Out of the Boxx Inc.

“It took a team of people to help my book, Law of Attraction become a Canadian National Bestselling book (now published in 28 countries). From my first order of 2,500 books to orders of 10-20,000, Friesens became a partner in my success. Friesens fulfillment service costs and the hassle of inventory management. I recommend all of their services.”

Michael Losier, Law of Attraction

Working with Friesens, quality, customer service and follow-through are extraordinary. Competitive pricing is just the icing on the cake.

Judith Briles, Mile High Press, Ltd

…There’s something magical about the term ‘author’ that separates us from the rest, creates fascination and allure – a special kind of admiration and excitement most unique to the breed. Despite all that, sometimes writers need help, support and a guiding hand through the process. After four books with Friesens, I only wish that I had found the company for my first four that now sit on forgotten shelves who knows where. There is not a better choice in the industry nor a more positive and professional group who take the guesswork and headache out of publishing. I look forward to four or forty more…

Ridgely Goldsborough, A View from the Ridge

Friesens has long been a valued supplier to the University of California Press, especially for many of our superior color museum and photography titles. Consistent technical skills resulting in quality work, combined with excellent sales and customer service, reliable schedule adherence, plus a willingness to work with the customer’s individual needs, have all helped make Friesens a “relationship” supplier whom we know we can always depend on.

Tony Crouch, UC Press
