“Just a note to tell you it has been my pleasure to work with you over these past twelve years. It has certainly been an amicable and productive relationship, and I have found you to be consistently helpful, prompt, courteous, and completely honest. You have converted all of my manuscripts into high quality, attractive, well-designed and readable products, all at a reasonable cost and with no real problems in the entire process.

It was certainly an act of providence which threw us together when you produced my “Over My Dead Body.” Now, three paperbacks and the massive two-volume hardcover “The Story of Hillside Cemetery” later, I look back on your work and cannot imagine a more successful business relationship. I know my husband also is very pleased with the two volumes you produced for him.”

What Our Yearbook Advisers
say about us:

“There are several compelling reasons that we choose to self-publish and have our yearbook printed with the help of Joel Klaassen at the Hillsboro Free Press:

1. We saved enough money in the first couple of years to completely equip a new computer lab;
2. We can set our own deadlines – basically we decide when we want delivery of the book;
3. The quality control has been much better – when we have an issue, it is fixed by talking to someone at a local level; and
4. We are no longer paying for a middle man in the process of yearbook creation. Our book has a quicker turnaround time, the quality is higher, and the cost is lower. For us, it’s a no-brainer.”

• Hillsboro (KS) High School Yearbook Adviser

Joel Klaassen at the Free Press has provided many benefits for our school’s yearbook. Whenever we have a question or problem he is easy to contact. He is also very flexible so that we rarely feel rushed by deadlines. Another great trait is that it is very affordable, which is a tremendous help when operating on a tight budget. All of this and the final product is a quality yearbook that the students enjoy and look forward to receiving each year.”
