Dr. Jeffrey K. Liker
Editor of the award-winning book, Becoming Lean

"We all had an excellent and smooth-working relationship with Gary.  And this was a complex project requiring a great deal of coordination. The 14 chapters were written by 18 different authors . . . Gary was clearly one of the best editors I have had the privilege of working with. You would be lucky to get him."

"Gary is extremely detail oriented, timely, very probing in his questions, and is a good listener and writer. He is, in my opinion, a natural at what he does. Best of all he has excellent people skills and really cares about the quality of his work. If you would like me to elaborate on Gary's work, please do not hesitate to e-mail me."

"Although I don't know Gary personally, I feel that with the professional propensity, pleasantness, and utmost compassion with which he treated me that I have known him personally for years. There are editors and then there are editors and in my personal opinion, Gary virtually outshines most of the ones that I have had a chance to deal with. He is a fine person, excellent editor, and meticulous manager all in one—a rare commodity."

"I have reexamined my book several times since it was printed, and frankly, I can't imagine any way that it could have been better.  In my opinion, the credit for the final form of the book goes almost entirely to Gary. In summary, I found Gary to be both extremely competent as a technical editor, and very good at organizing and managing a publishing project."

"As my project manager, editor, and advisor on three books I have found Mr. Peurasaari to be exceptionally creative in the required graphics design work and the formatting and organizing of the content material for these books. Without fail, Mr. Peurasaari has handled all tasks, from the most routine editing functions, to the highly critical timing and decision-making tasks, with excellent judgment, dispatch, and with a keen sense of organization and human sensitivity."

The most frequent comment is how readable the book is—usually noted with a measure of surprise since I am an engineer by training. I accept these very positive comments with a smile and a feeling of pride in a job well done, and want to pass on my thanks to Gary for his constructive editing,  improvement in the organization of the book, and fantastic help in making my book both valuable and readable for more than one audience."
