"Over the past three years, we have worked with Vern Associates on three very different exhibition catalogues dealing with historical and contemporary aspects of art and culture: Inspired by China: Contemporary Studio Furniture Makers Look at Chinese Furniture; Samuel McIntire: Carving an American Style; and Wedded Bliss: The Marriage of Art and Ceremony. Consistently, Brian and Peter have partnered with us very succesfully, providing excellent editing, design, project management, and publication placement. To top it off, they are fun to work with!"

"Vern Associates gave us impressive service. Everyone from Editor-in-Chief to editorial assistant went out of their way to be helpful and the whole process from concept to finished product was handled with intelligence and competence. Additionally, our book, Enterprising Women: 250 Years of American Business won a notable award for its design."

"Vern Associates has been very helpful in editing of art catalogues for museums. I was especially grateful for their work on Tales from the Land of Dragons, where many ticklish editing decisions were handled with imagination and speed. They are easy to work with and their fees are reasonable."

"Collaborating with Vern Associates is always a delight. Every aspect of a project is accomplished professionally and on time. The principals of Vern Associates can be relied upon without reservation. They are unfailingly collegial, competent and adhere to the highest standards."

"Having worked in the publishing industry for over ten years, it was a great pleasure and huge relief to partner with Vern Associates on our 50th anniversary book. They were quick to gain our trust by being honest, reliable, highly competent, and creative. Peter and Brian deftly managed our time and budget constraints to deliver a final product of the highest standard"

"We are thrilled with Safer, More Secure Lives, as every aspect of the book surpassed our highest expectations. From the very beginning to the finished product, Peter and Brian guided us through every step of the process. They brought the design, graphics, editing and publishing expertise we expected and needed for this project. More important, they carefully listened to our ideas, thoughts and opinions, and were able to translate our dreams into reality. We entrusted our 'corporate history' to Vern Associates, and we're glad we did."

"[Vern Associates] took a lot of the stress out of the process since I always felt that the material was in very good hands. I think the final product is doing what we hoped it would do-explaining what can be very technical information in a way that is accessible for most readers. It was truly an enriching experience from a process point of view and I think the final product reflects the collaborative nature of that process."

"Vern Associates was critical in helping us edit, illustrate and publish our walking guide to Boston...in fact, not only did they walk us through the whole process, their wisdom, creativity, and good advice helped us make giant steps in the realization of our book."

"Thank you does not begin to express the appreciation I feel for your professionalism, expertise and customer service. Your wise counsel and attention to detail brought us from a Word document (that I had no idea what to do with) to a published book that is making us all proud. I know you were working under a very tight time frame to start but somehow you still got the books to us on the original 'promised by' date. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was a pleasure working with you."

"I have worked with Vern Associates on numerous projects over half a dozen years or so. Even the most complex projects were handled with crisp efficiency and organization and delivered on time and within budget. It was wonderful to be able to hand these projects over to them with complete confidence, knowing not only that the job would get done, but also that it would get done beautifully."
