"When the Rowayton Historical Society decided to publish a book about our town's historic homes and places we were woefully ignorant of what we were getting ourselves into. Luckily for us we chose to have Reedy Press publish our book. The team at Reedy walked with us every step of the way, giving us clear deadlines, and explaining the entire process to us. We had a tight schedule, and they helped to keep us on track to make our deadlines. They were incredibly patient when we changed our minds (often) and kept us abreast of any choices which would result in a higher bottom line. Their suggestions were always timely, and made with the success of the publication in mind. The resulting book "Historic Rowayton" has been wildly popular, and that is in no small part thanks to the people at Reedy Press."

"I worked as a consultant for Hewitt on the project and was involved in all phases including publisher selection, contract negotiations, book editing and layout, and marketing. Reedy has been a great partner. Always very responsive and available, they provided guidance when necessary and supported the writer's efforts throughout. They showed great flexibility whenever last minute changes were needed, and more than delivered on every deadline. We have also gotten great marketing support from them. Indeed, though the book has only recently been published, it is selling extremely well.

It has been a pleasure working with Reedy. I wish all partnerships went as smoothly!"

"The Sheldon was very pleased to work with Reedy Press on two important books related to exhibits in our Sheldon Art Galleries. Josephine Baker: Image and Icon and City of Gabriels: The History of Jazz in St. Louis, 1895 - 1973 were beautifully designed and were marketed well. Both books were well received, with the Baker book now in a second printing. We look forward to working with Reedy Press on future projects."

"Reedy Press's editorial assistance and production of our commemorative hardcover book CBC - Then & Now was invaluable. Over the course of several months, we worked together as a team to locate vintage photographs and anecdotes that brought the pages to life. CBC - Then & Now was very well received within our community and made a great gift to our donors and for families who wanted to commemorate CBC's place in their respective family history. Kudos to the crew at Reedy Press for guiding us through this fascinating process of producing a memorable coffee table book."

"Reedy Press helped The Lexington School produce two commemorative publications in honor of its 50th Anniversary celebration. The history and cookbook are both gorgeous gift-quality books and have sold way beyond our expectations. Reedy press was always accessible, always helpful, always flexible and never on time (because they always produce well ahead of deadlines). They are low-pressure and high-quality, and we would work with them again in a heartbeat. The Lexington School highly recommends Reedy Press for any special project."

"I had my work cut out for me: Document 50 years of school history in a way that is meaningful to over 9,000 alumni and their families—no matter when they attended—in 112 pages. Bishop Kelley High School enlisted the help of Josh Stevens and Matt Heidenry at Reedy Press in St. Louis because we like the quality of their previous books and they could help with order fulfillment. Having never compiled and written such a book, we needed expertise and a tremendous amount of flexibility as we worked.

Our book involved more research and copy than the samples we'd seen, so it took about a year to finish. Throughout the process, we got our layouts and proofs back very quickly, which helped us know how to proceed without losing time. Matt did a great job on the layouts and since he doesn't know our alums, he was objective with the size, quality, and selection of photos. If we had specific graphics we needed to include, he helped us find a way. A project like this takes constant communication, promotion, and accurate billing; Reedy Press has come through. Ultimately, our goal was to create a keepsake that is popular with our audience. We pre-sold books and as our alumni see the books, the buzz is good, so we continue to sell copies."

We are very pleased with both of the history books and how they look. The quality of the print job is excellent, the covers look great, and I really the page design and interior paper choice. Thanks so much for all of you work on this project, and more importantly, for your patience and understanding on our endless schedule changes and edits. You and your company have been very professional throughout the entire process.
