"I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the great work [by] your [custom media] folks who were instrumental in helping me with a custom publishing opportunity.
I am a professor of Astronomy & Physics teaching at Chabot College in Hayward, California, embarking this term with a new book and new online resource system. Even though Chabot’s adoption levels are not huge [your team was] extremely responsive, available, and supportive. At this time, three weeks into the term, I have an online class taking advantage of your firm’s outstanding online media and my students are doing well.
I share with all of the publishers I meet, that adoption decisions today are driven even more by the depth and quality of services than by the textbooks themselves. The range and complexity of the online resource packages, and the availability of support for those resources, are absolutely crucial to my success, and that of my students. [The members of the Pearson Custom Publishing’s media team] are great examples of that lesson."

"From start to finish, my custom editor answered all my questions quickly. She brought me to Boston for a day-long conference with each and every member of the team in Boston. I met the folks who secure permissions, marketing staff, editors, designers, even a representative of the people who actually ship the book. All were extremely pleasant and full of ideas.
… the layout of my book, is particularly impressive. Also, the award-winning cover design team agreed to work with my son, who is a professional photographer/web designer, to design a cover I had in mind. They worked together beautifully, and I am very happy with the cover of my book.
I can’t recommend my editor and all the folks at Pearson Custom highly enough…you will be very pleased with the results."

"I just wanted to write and thank you
for everything you did to get all of our custom Gente pieces
in place (well before
the first day of class!). The custom textbook and cover are
great.
The custom OneKey for Blackboard is fantastic. Your custom
media people did a fabulous job. Not only are all the Gente
materials
excellent for our program, but your media people were highly
responsive to every one of my requests for changes.
Once again, thank you to everyone at Pearson Custom." Juliet

On the value of providing students with locally-authored videos of lab experiments and techniques produced by Pearson Custom Publishing:
"The goal is to minimize students' questions. Previewing what they'll be doing in lab has decreased questions tremendously. My students know how to set up the apparatus, and they know what to do." (Video) actually helps them to master the techniques. There's a big difference between what I used to do in class and what I do now. The (video) has actually lightened the load for my instructors. They can now do a 3-hour lab in 1-1/2 to 2 hours."

“...thanks again for a really super product. I love my 'Intersections' and 'Choices' readers. I finally feel as if I am teaching from my book and not someone else's! ...the neat and compact books you produce are very EASY to get students to bring to class, which is a big bonus. I am a happy customer indeed.”

“Working with my editor and the staff at Pearson Custom inspires me to keep writing. They make it so rewarding in many ways, such as support for a high-quality end product, marketing and promotion that makes the work known to appropriate faculty, and for those who adopt it, customer service that is timely, effective, and personalized. Whatever the request or problem, I have every confidence that my editor will see that it's handled professionally.”
