Book Templates - awesome service

This is going to sound like a paid announcement but it isn't. I'd just like to acknowledge some fabulous customer service.

The people over at bookdesigntemplates.com offer book templates for Microsoft Word, all beautifully laid out and very reasonably priced. I purchased one of them when I was producing Cant - A Gentleman's Guide.

However, I am now working on the print version of Jonathan Wild and the template is too 'open', that is, too few words per page. It would bring the book in at over five hundred pages.

There was no denser version on the site so I wrote to them for advice. My expectation was that they would do it for a fee and I hoped the fee wouldn't be too big.

The next day I get a reply saying sure, they offer a high density version of their templates as a service. Here it is attached.

Consider me gobsmacked. It is a pleasant change to find a business model that involves helping the customer rather than charging whatever the market will accept.

And you know, I suspect it works. I'll certainly be going back. And here I find myself telling my friends how great they are.

What better publicity could you get than that?
