Noname, the Feral Cat | Cynthia O’Brien
Fabulous Printing Company for Children's Hardcover Books! I can't recommend this company enough to print your books with. They delivered on every level. Customer service was incredible. Edward emailed me and called me within minutes of an inquiry even over a weekend and holiday or at night.
The final printed product was beyond my expectations.

The Art of Mead Tasting and Food Pairing
Update: 'Mead Tasting' wins a prestigious Gourmand award. I’m so happy with the design, service, and printing that I got from Star Print Brokers. Everything proceeded exactly the way that you and Edward said it would: exactly the same schedule, exactly the quoted price. I love the production upgrades that you suggested: the ribbon bookmark and the upgraded endpapers particularly, give the book a special luxury boost. The printing and production quality are first-rate and a year later even books that have been handled a lot still feel “new”. ... Read More about The Art of Mead Tasting and Food Pairing

My Yacht Designs | Chuck Paine
Nancy Starkman has always been wonderfully cooperative, and her design of my book was first rate — at half the prices I had gotten from other book designers. Only a fool would use anybody else. She printed my book, My Yacht Designs and the lessons they taught me — 1000 copies.

Montana Skiing | Craig Hergert
I have worked with Edward and Nancy on a couple of large format photo books. They have been very helpful through the process, and the product and price were very good. I would, and have recommended them to many of my professional photographer and publishing friends.

At the Crossroads of Terror | Lenny Emanuelli
Star Print Brokers was one of the main reasons my novel sold over 7000 copies. The professional print job was not only cost effective, but eye catching as well. The book was sold at all Kroger Supermarkets, and all the larger book stores and distributors. Barnes and Noble, Amazon and Baker Taylor. Almost 500 libraries across the country carried my novel, At the Crossroads of Terror. ... Read More about At the Crossroads of Terror | Lenny Emanuelli

Going Down Sticky Toffee Lane | Chef George Fowler
They’re Amazing! Edward and Nancy, the books, the work, the process ... all of it.
FANTASTIC! I am so happy and delighted ... I really don’t have words, except Thank You.
Going Down Sticky Toffee Lane was a labour of love for me: my great friend and fabulous chef, George, asked me, a 20+ year website designer, to make his once-in-a-lifetime cookbook. I needed a lot of hand holding and Edward patiently led me through the entire process – always professional, answering every question succinctly, clearly, and within a couple of hours. Painless! He even sent me sample books so I could judge the quality myself. I had never printed anything professionally in my life so Nancy’s decades of expertise, her advice and her passion for her artful industry were invaluable to me. Plus, they are just super nice people! – and we’re already proceeding with a second printing. Bravo to Star Print Brokers!

Twelve Days of Peace | Jimmy Lange
I can't strongly enough express how delighted we have been with the entire process ... of having our 122 page full-color hardcover art / photography book, Twelve Days of Peace, printed with Ed & Nancy Starkman and Star Print Brokers. They both are incredibly helpful, all along the way. Their prompt attention to every detail and / or question is second to none.
We had gotten underway with another printer, but hit multiple snags, causing us to seek a new service provider ... and so glad that we did. The final printed book FAR EXCEEDS our wildest expectations. Thanks so much Star Print Brokers for a job so very well done!
Twelve Days of Peace is available on the 12 Days Publishing Company website

Underbelly, Spank the Monkey, Camelot Revisited | David Geliebter
Ed is the best there is. I used him on three jobs. Each one was perfect. AND - on time, on budget, no BS, no up and extras later, no excuses. The man delivers a great product and deserves your business. If I write another book, Ed is the ONLY person I would go to.
The three books: Underbelly, Spank the Monkey, Camelot Revisited.

Dear Khloe / St. Clair Detrick-Jules
Great price, great quality, great customer service!
I was very nervous about making such a substantial investment (1,000 hardcover books), especially from a company I'd never used before. However, after a lot of research and reading several reviews of Star Print Brokers, I knew my book was in good hands. Edward was always responsive both by phone and by email — he always responded within one or two days, and often within a couple hours. He was very patient with me and answered all of my questions quickly and effectively, and he even accommodated all my special requests, like last minute changes to my book, etc.
The quality of the books is amazing. I had originally gotten a couple individual hardcover books from IngramSpark, and I was so disappointed by the paper quality (it basically felt like normal printer paper) and the covers began to warp quickly. The books I received from Star Print Brokers, however, are extremely professional looking. The paper quality is great, the colors are vivid (my book has a lot of photos), and the binding is very sturdy.
I came into the whole publishing process really lost and confused, so I really do appreciate all of your guidance. You were so helpful that my assistant at one point did her own research about your company because she thought it was too good to be true. I really can't thank you enough.
The delivery process was also smooth. Even though the coronavirus hit as the books were en route from Asia (they never print in China) to the US, nothing was delayed and the Dear Khloe books were delivered in great condition. I would not hesitate to use Star Print Brokers again!
Thank you,
St. Clair Detrick-Jules (author of Dear Khloe: Love Letters to My Little Sister)
PS. If anyone ever has any questions or doubts about using Star Print Brokers, feel free to send them to me. Your service was even better than I'd hoped for, and I'd love to spread the word.

I have printed Wisdom from the Wilderness, my second photography / art book with Star Print Brokers and I couldn’t be happier. I have worked with Nancy again on the design aspect. She is both a master of book craft and displays the sensitivity of an artist. Her understanding of color is deep and sensitive. Her experience is epic and she openly shares it with me while always allowing any final decisions entirely up to me. I am most grateful for her time and patience. She is amazing to work with. ...

Just wanted to let you know we launched Gone Dogs today and we could not be more pleased with the quality of the book. The entire process of figuring out how to self-publish a coffee table book has been pretty excruciating, but once we found you, a huge part of it became much much better.

Vines & Vision Testimonial
Vines & Vision, The Winemakers of Santa Barbara County. Words by Matt Kettman, Photography by Macduff Everton. "Mil gracias - a thousand thanks - for another wonderful production. The printing is gorgeous. We’ve been so busy distributing the book, in small and large lots, for us, 7,000 books is a lot, especially during a pandemic, we haven’t had a chance to thank you properly. We unloaded at a winery, and they preferred only we came inside so we meet everyone outside. Yesterday my iPhone showed I walked over 21,000 steps carrying 4 tons of books from the winery outside to be picked up. Carrying the books feels like a Zen ritual." A few photos can be viewed in the Color Book Printing category See Vines & Visions - The Winemakers of Santa Barbara County.
Editor's note: Vines & Vision is 2 inches thick and 7,000 copies meant two full container loads. Thank you Macduff Everton, Matt Kettman, and Mary Heebner. It is an honor to print this incredible book. You can buy the book at the Vines & Vision website.
