Don’t just take it from us…

Whatever their views about the merits of the contents, almost everyone who has seen my book has had nothing but praise for its production and appearance. This was my view too when I first saw it - it is a superlative production in every way: its cover, paper, print, figures and diagrams. Thank you and everyone at Edward Elgar so much for not sparing any effort to make it so attractive.

'Since 1995 all of our Yearbooks have been published by Elgar and during this period we have established an excellent working relationship. We are very satisfied with the service Elgar is providing and intend not only to continue but also to expand the scope of our partnership for future publications.'

Shyam Upadhyaya

UNIDO

'I have always found our publishing relationships very fruitful. Edward Elgar have always approached everything in a very professional way. As the IEA only publishes peer reviewed material, we have particularly appreciated the way in which you have conducted the reviewing procedures and used those reviewing procedures to ensure that the books that you produce in association with us are of the necessary academic standard. In addition the production quality is very high and, as is a requirement of IEA authors, the exposition is clear.'

Philip Booth,

Institute of Economic Affairs

'Elgar have proved a reliable and responsive partner. Without exception, their staff are a pleasure to work with, communicative and quick to understand FAO's needs, including our legal and contractual requirements.'

Rachel Tucker,

Publishing Planning and Rights Manager, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

'The Institute of Developing Economies is extremely satisfied with our publishing relationship with Edward Elgar. We highly appreciate their advice on volume titles, sound copyediting and production processes, cover design, and promotional and marketing activities.'

Bill Carman,

IDRC, CRDI

'Over the course of publishing seven volumes on current and emerging themes in environmental law as part of the ongoing IUCN Academy of Environmental Law series, we have developed a great appreciation for the conscientious professionalism demonstrated throughout the ranks of editorial and production staff representing Edward Elgar Publishing. Developing, producing and promoting solid academic work are all part of a very effective continuum of partnership and service between the Academy and EEP which we value highly.'

Directors, IUCN Academy of Environmental Law, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa

'The level of professionalism in working with Edward Elgar Publishing is exceptional. Working with them on the USASBE Annals has been an absolute joy.'
