Client Testimonials
What our clients say about our work.
“Toelke Associates has designed all of Black Dome Press's titles since 2004; approximately 50 titles in all. I would not even consider hiring any other book designer. They are expert, knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and fairly priced. All in all, they are a pleasure to work with, and I — and my authors — have always been well pleased with the results. They have my highest recommendation.”
Steve Hoare, Publisher, Black Dome Press
“With deep gratitude and appreciation for the beautiful design work within — the book is striking, in large part attributable to your caring and skills”

“Toelke Associates is an outstanding business for anyone seeking interior book and cover design, including editing and indexing if needed. They’re the epitome of professionalism. Toelke Associates will make your book design not only look exceptional, you'll enjoy the experience of working with them, too. For someone like me going the self-publishing route on my last book, they made this phase of book production a perfect journey.”
Author Joseph W. Zarzynski, Lochend — Monster Hunting on the Run
“… the production quality of the book is exceptional. This is beyond “outstanding” and is an inspiration for me… The graphics and organization are impeccable. I’ve started to read it from the first word on, after quickly flipping through the pages when it arrived.”
Reviewer Allen W. Hatheway, Ph.D., P.E., P. Geologist, From Copperas to Cleanup; The History of Vermont’s Elizabeth Copper Mine
“Fitting all of this material into a well designed book was no easy feat, but Toelke Associates accomplished it with a resourceful professionalism that demonstrated his many years of experience. Ron developed solutions for every challenge presented by this project, always guiding me, a first-time author, in the right direction on the many decisions needed to bring the book to fruition. They were a pleasure to deal with throughout the several years we worked on the book. Ron tactfully coordinated the efforts of the other contributors to the book: another author, photographers, text editor, indexer, and the printer. Truly without their tireless efforts the book might never have seen the light of day. The book won the 2019 Winslow Local History Award from the Association of Public Historians of New York State.”
