will have enjoyed the publishing experience
“I received the copy of the Proceedings. It is an excellent publication and I and my colleagues would like to warmly congratulate and thank you for this very nice work.” Professor Anastasios Legakis, Editor, Proceedings of the XVIII International Congress of Zoology Zoological Museum, University of Athens, GREECE
“Just now, we have received the book on Carabus. It is a splendid book. My congratulations to you as Editor and Author!” Tomas Yelamos, bookseller, Barcelona, SPAIN “Of course we knew more or less what to expect because we had seen most of it in the preparatory stages and were involved with the design, at least the approval of it, of the cover. But we are very pleased indeed to see the final result. It looks impressive, a very nice book with a fine layout.” Dr. Peter van Helsdingen, Editor, European Invetrebrate Survey, Leiden, THE NETHERLANDS “Please can you send me further 10 copies of the Carabus book? It is a magnificent book!” Ian Johnson, Natural History Booksellers, Iver, ENGLAND “It’s a beautiful piece of work, with some really innovating elements, like the transects. I saw that you spend a lot of effort on the layout. I think it will be a trendsetting work for books on European invertebrates and it will be hard to attain the same standard for future contributions in the same series. I am quite proud to have been involved. All the best for your future projects!” Dr. Roy Kleukers, Editor, European Invertebrate Survey, Leiden, THE NETHERLANDS

“I am very happy that you found the volume an excellent production by Pensoft, as well as with good scientific content. As I have told Lyubomir Penev at Pensoft several times, they did an excellent job publishing this volume in a very timely fashion and with excellent quality. I agree with you that more authors/editors should be encouraged to consider Pensoft for publishing — I will certainly be advertising for them.” Dr. David G. Furth, Editor Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on the Chrysomelidae National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C., USA “The book is excellent not only in its presentation but also for the contents. Well printed and well distributed. Really, Pensoft have done a wonderful work.
