Testimonials
“I was over-the-moon to find that you would typeset and print ragged pages – not even double-spaced – from my handwritten journal, resulting in the beautifully produced book, Dad on the Farm. It is elegant: flawless typesetting in a classy font; high-grade stock with sunlight in its tone; poetic front cover with autumnal-toned title; and warm presence in the old photo of Herb Toppings on the back cover.”
“We all have our fields of special interest, but until now I had neglected to look at the extraordinary work that you (Stan) and Coach House have achieved over the last fifty and more years, you too working through economic difficulties, faltering support, and changes and developments in taste.”

“My time at Coach House Press has had an indelible and enduring impact on me as an artist. Not only did I observe professional writers and visual artists while gaining insight into the book publishing and printing industries, I also had the freedom to experiment with different materials and typography techniques. Stan and Nelson set high standards for innovative design, craftsmanship and quality printing, and when typesetting I was expected to tinker with the spaces between letters until they looked just right.”
