"There are no printer's errors and things of that sort and it is a perfect book in that sense. There is not a single mistake in it."

"Living in a world where good design has become an imperative, it has always been a great comfort to know that you were at the end of the writing process, waiting to mould words and pictures into sumptuous publication. And you succeeded – how wonderful the result...You were there at the start to advise us and you were certainly at the end to work your skill and magic on the diverse material we had collected...We could not have wished for anyone better for the task of design and publishing, nor hoped for a more impressive outcome."
Michael Smith
Chairman, Baradene Centennial Committee
"Thank you so much for the book "Who will tuck me in?" We have six copies in our library and feel the book is of great help to people with children. I have contacted ward 62, 64, Haematology Daystay and Oncology Daystay and advised them we will supply them with copies of the book for them to distribute and use. They have all been very enthusiastic about the opportunity to provide patients with this book. So on their behalf I would like to thank you again very much for the opportunity to have people going through treatment to have access to this book."

"When I retired in 1997, after eighteen years as Headmaster of Dilworth School, I little realised that the next ten years of my life would be consumed by another career, the writing of a definitive history of the first one hundred years of Dilworth School. I was commissioned by the Dilworth Trust Board to begin the research immediately, and to complete the writing in time for publication in the School's centenary year, 2006 – 2007. Although having the advantage of a long and intimate association with the School and the Trust, the period of research and writing opened new vistas of understanding and not a few gems of hitherto unknown facts. Without doubt, the best decision that was made at the outset was the choice of Egan Reid Limited, now Pindar New Zealand, as publishers. The world of book publishing was foreign to me, and working closely with a publisher was a steep learning curve. But Egan Reid is a family business. In short order I became very comfortable with all the members of the enterprise and impressed by their expertise and the warmth of their dealings with a novice writer. If The Dilworth Legacy has any lasting merit, it is as much in the unsurpassed quality of the publication as in the recorded history of a school's first century. Those who have read the book, and who have it in pride of place in their homes, are unanimous in their praise of the superior production and layout, the high quality paper and the wonderful illustrations, many of which required a good deal of expert cosmetic attention. There are not many books which can make this claim."

"The success of this publication will be in no small measure attributable to the fantastic work you and your team have done on this project and I'd like to reiterate our gratitude. It's very reassuring to know that we have in Egan-Reid such an effective and reliable supplier."

"We now have a most stunning and easy to read e-book from the print Successful Email Marketing: Your Complete 'How-To' Guide. When I got the e-Book version from Egan Reid Ltd (they are the production house for Penguin Books) I fell off my chair — it's so incredibly well done and screen friendly."

"Just received the advance copies of Wrestling With the Angel and I wanted to drop you a quick note to put on record how very much impressed everyone is here with the end result. The combination of design, typesetting and final print production lends an air of great authority to the final product. Thanks again for a fine job."
Jeff Atkinson
Production Manager, Penguin Books (NZ)
"The team at Pindar took my manuscript, found a new font, designed a brilliant cover, arranged high quality printing, and packaged it ready for sale exactly to the agreed timetable. Their professional attention to detail is outstanding, and has left me more than satisfied with my decision to self publish at a time when general publishing was retrenching. I am grateful for their assistance in steering me through the whole process."
