About Us
Our Approach
At Bennett Book Design, we work with clients to find the best way to communicate their message with words, type, and images — working in both the print and electronic media.
We enjoy building long-term relationships with clients by providing quality — creative yet classic — graphic design solutions with timely and considerate personal service. A remarkably diverse client base of writers, editors, business professionals, educational institutions, collectors, artists, and not-for-profits has resulted. We have a nationwide relationship with personal historians, individuals, and families requiring professional help with their book projects.
Recognition
Several awards on the national level have been received from the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and from the Chicago Book Clinic. John’s limited edition letterpress books can be found in both private collections and in the special collections of libraries in the United States and abroad.
We’d love to have the opportunity to work with you and help to bring your project to life.
