Authors Speak
“ACES encouraged me to complete a project to publish my co-authored book on ‘Unlocking the Enterpriser Inside! A Book of Why, What and How’. The Book Editors and Project Managers were always polite and professional throughout the project.”
“The entire experience of working with ACES on my books, ‘Tailoring Surfaces’, and ‘Aqueous Lubrication” was very enjoyable. I felt looked after, encouraged, and never hurried. It made me keen to publish with World Scientific again.”
“I like also to congratulate you for the accomplished project. Communications and responses went perfectly, hundred times better than my latest book experience with Routledge!”
