TESTIMONIALS
Fred Hicks - Evil Hat Productions : “Balfour Commercial Printing consistently provides top-quality printings that have cemented my company's reputation as producing some of the best books in our field.”
Larry Hasak - Legendary Publishing & Media Group : “It is my experience that in private club book publishing you can pour your heart and soul into the writing, photography and design of a project — and then you hand it over to book printer and pray for the best. I worked for over two years on a book for Saucon Valley Country Club and I was very concerned of the color reproduction of this 400 page, 9 x 12 inch Epic volume on the centennial history of the club — and Balfour’s expertise in printing and binding hit it out of the park. The book manufacturing is colorful and gorgeous and binding spot on and tight. It is arguably one of the finest private club history books ever published. I could not have been more pleased.”
Mark Truman- Magpie Games : “We've worked with Balfour Commercial Printing since 2016 on multiple award-winning titles; their work is fantastic, their communication is amazing, and their staff is incredibly helpful! We are always thrilled with the books they print for us!”
