[Editors] Recommending a designer

[Eve Sullivan]

Hello Editors and Editorial Assistants and Publishing Services,

I would like to recommend Jana Bull - her contacts are below - who did  
a great job with a book that my nonprofit published independently.
She has also done a number of promotional pieces for us. She is  
prompt, professional and just plain top-notch.

Sorry I missed the February meeting.

Eve Sullivan
Editorial Assistant, Annals of Physics
and (during my out of school time) Founder, Parents Forum
