Why choose CinnamonTeal?
I recently tried CinnamonTeal's service (for a book that required only 20 copies to be printed). I was impressed by the service -- prompt, efficient, neat (looks better than a book!), timely and affordable (a bit higher priced than a traditional book, but you save a lot instead of wastages incurred on printing more-than-the-needed number of copies). I would not hesitate recommending this work.

more testimonialsOn Fri, May 9, 2008 uma wrote (in what could be considered - quiet desperation):I have a manuscript of about 350 odd pages which I would like printed into a paper back book. There are no fancy illustrations or art work. But I want a good print quality. Initially I would need 30 copies. Could you give me a quote on this. Also I would like to know if you can allot an ISBN number.Plus it is important to know the time frame within which you can post the books to me. I reside in Chennai - India and could pay you by cheque or demand draft. Thank you and awaiting your response ASAP
This is how it began - my relationship with Leonard of CinnamonTeal Print and Publishing Services with his prompt response: Dear Uma, Thank you for emailing us. You have indeed come to the right place and we will ensure that you will get the best quality for your book.
On Fri, June 13, 2008 - the said book (all thirty copies of it) was at my door step.
Between May 9th and June 13th there was intense activity as emails went back and forth (I have g-mail so it tells me that I have 100 mails in one long and sustained conversation titled simply and eloquently - Query) between Leonard and me. It starts out formally and then degenerates to the comical and absurd as our friendship grows literally by the hour as he handles every instruction/doubt/frenzy/alarm of mine with his unflappable aplomb. From copy-editing the manuscript to designing the cover it has been one rapid and exhilarating roller-coaster ride. I must tell you that I am an inexperienced nail-biting perfectionist and Leonard an experienced perfectionist with well manicured nails. He has not only been a mine of patience but also the most prompt respondent. By the end it was all I could do not to throw my arms around him in sheer joy. The only problem is that he is in Goa and I am in Chennai. But I am making a trip to Goa just to do that.
If ever - it has been a joy to work with somebody who responds to every heart-beat of yours, who understands the nature of the angst of self-publishing, who is counselor, physician, helpmate, and executor all rolled into one - then that is Leonard of CinnamonTeal. Thank you Leo and bless your enterprise with the abundance it deserves.Uma Raman
