“I've worked with Andy on four books which highlight my nature photography. Andy is a true professional with an eye for detail that makes working together on our projects an absolute pleasure!”
“Andy has designed six children's picture books for me and will do many more to come! He is the only person I will have design all my future books as he always works to make the books exactly as I envisioned them. His patience and professionalism is endless. I have loved his design choices for font and all the other details. I am so thankful to have found him to help me walk through this process which is overwhelming without his help. I recommend him to all my fellow authors. I always tell him he is the best!”
“I am so happy that I discovered Andy and ended up working with him on two amazing cookbooks. His design work is AMAZING and he is professional, courteous and helpful. What could have been an intimidating and complicated process was instead an absolute pleasure. I look forward to working together on book #3!”
“I AM ALWAYS AMAZED AT THE WONDERFUL QUALITY OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO! -- is my most recent missive to Andy Grachuk -- Master Book Designer. Andy has already assisted me in producing and distributing five hard covered books over the past few years. "Beautiful Books" is the most frequent comment from my many customers. Andy's work is thorough, competent, and complete. He is dedicated to tasks and can always be be counted on to submit work prior to deadlines. Andy is devoted to producing the best possible work at the lowest possible price -- in fact, to Andy, the fee is never a deciding factor in anything he undertakes. Rather, he provides you with excellence and your finished projects will definitely reflect such a lofty goal. To anyone considering employing an assistant to provide technical knowledge, to offer pertinent suggestions, to guarantee a professional outcome -- I highly recommend Andy . As far as I am concerned, this is "one-stop" shopping. Andy Grachuk is the right man for your job! Michael D. Morgenstern, Author -- Books on "Rockaway, Queens -- New York City."
“Up to this point in time, Andy and I have worked together to produce almost a dozen books under his leadership. He is a man of details, has an eye for design and pushes the envelope when it comes to working with his clients and the printer. Andy will work with you until the job is complete and up to your standards of color and reproduction, helping every step of the way. He is good man to deal with.... Stan Trzoniec"
“After completing the manuscript and book cover for my Dad’s WWII memoirs, I needed a typesetter for the book’s interior design, layout and improvement of photos. I found Andy’s name through Blurb and was impressed with his website. From our initial phone call, I could tell that Andy was good-humored, loved his work, and had a great eye for design. Throughout the project, he was incredibly patient with my endless questions, concerns and revisions; and he got very involved and familiar with the material. Andy was always on schedule, his pricing was fair, and his design work was over the top. He helped me every step of the way; and also went the extra mile by setting up the related Blurb and Amazon accounts, as well as designing a fabulous website for the book. I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to partner with him on my Dad’s book. I fully recommend Andy and his work - Brenda"
