Missed a company wide book printing deadline and had to print multiple copies of a book with a tight turnaround, Mark was extremely helpful every step of the way and allowed the books to get to us ASAP. The books were cheaper than the original printing fee from the company's publisher. Would definitely recommend!

I loved working with the TLAC team. Very professional. My cookbook is beautiful and reflects so well the values I wanted to convey.

I've published 4 books with TLAC for my father, who is a keen essay writer. Each time the experience has been fast and easy. The staff is very responsive to my questions and helped me with my own problems with formatting. The designers took my vague directions and turned them into gorgeous covers for each book. I worried that in this pandemic, the service might be disrupted, but my fourth book was produced seamlessly, within a tight deadline. The final copies were delivered directly to my father, who was utterly thrilled.

My friends and I chose TLAC to print our first ever anthology project because we wanted to support local business and were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of both customer service and the product we received! If you're nervous about working with a publisher for the first time (as we certainly were), the representatives at TLAC are extremely patient, informative, and caring about helping you print the best project you possibly can. Would strongly recommend TLAC for any fellow creatives hoping to print within Toronto!

Just got multiple copies of my Ryerson architectural thesis printed and bound in softcover books. They turned out fantastic and the price was very reasonable compared to other places in the city that I contacted. Very friendly professional service, 12/10 would recommend!

I needed to print a book in memory of my father. My experience with TLAC from beginning to end was professional, prompt, and truly exceeded my expectations. Mark Lacaria handles my inquiry and was always courteous and clear. My book included lots of graphics and the end product was beautiful and I was very satisfied. Everything from order to delivery was 100% satisfactory. The whole process took place around Christmas/New Year time, yet Mark assured me that I will receive my books on the date agreed upon. The quality of the books was truly impressive, and I am delighted to have found such a good and reliable printing company. Thank you!

I wrote a memoir to leave my grandchildren, three of whom were born after my wife passed away. This was a labour of love for me and it was very important that this was preserved in a permanent form.
My interaction with TLAC was extremely smooth even when my contact left the company part way through the process. The recommendations made to accommodate my material resulted in a book that I am proud to share with my family.
Editing was easy and timing exceeded expectations. Great experience all around.

This was my first experience in publishing a piece of literary fiction. The timing - during the covid pandemic - might have resulted in service challenges. Not with TLAC. This company and its staff provided prompt estimates, courteous service and produced an excellent product. Everyone who has received a copy of my novel has commented on the quality. I can't imagine having a better experience. Thanks!

I couldn't be happier with the end product. Printing my thesis was a painless experience, especially because Mark walked me through all the specifics to ensure I got a professional looking product, going above and beyond the basic product to help me create something unique. I felt confident in their services and was well informed throughout the process.

Really fantastic customer service! From the start they had me in for a consult where I could see the different kinds of paper and binding I could use for my book. They laid everything out for me and took time to explain all of the options. Super responsive over email, and affordable pricing. They were incredibly helpful with my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. Overall a great experience! I recommend printing here.

The choice of where, and by whom, to have your very first literary venture published isn't an easy one. After a long search, I chose TLAC Toronto Printing and Publishing for my novella, 'They Also Serve'. This decision was one of the best I've made in my entire life! Right from my first phone conversation with Eleanor Reader, my TLAC contact, I was convinced I'd made the right choice. The scope of work covered my needs comprehensively and the cost was absolutely in line.
My - often detailed - requests for corrections and amendments to my text were noted punctiliously. TLAC's suggestions for formatting were thoughtful and the paper quality, the print and, especially, the cover design are all absolutely superb! Eleanor kept me posted promptly on progress every step of the way until the, 'magic moment' when my shipment of books arrived a few days ago!
I have no hesitation in saying that my collaboration with TLAC was an outstanding success and I recommend this company unreservedly to any self-publishing author.

So helpful, responsive and efficient. Could not have asked for anything more. Thank you! I will bring all my future projects to TLAC Printing

We had a great experience working with TLAC. Their prices were excellent, communications very prompt and clear and they delivered our order on the date we needed it even though we were on a tight timeline! We are very pleased with our order and the quality and would definitely use their services again.

TLAC did a great jb printing my local climbing guide. Fast, affordable and great quality, will be returning if I need more printing done.

The TLAC team was great. Awesome high-end magazine quality outputs, within a condensed time frame at a very reasonable price. Will definitely work with them again.

Mark and his team blew me away. I've previously self-published four books (two business books and two 400+ word fictions) and by far, working with TLAC was the easiest and most cost effective company to produce my book (250 page fiction). The quality (inside and out) is superior and the turn around time was astounding. I could not be happier with the finished product.

I never like leaving bad reviews but this whole situation doesn’t sit well with me, so here we are. My husband has been working with TLAC on his project for quite some time. At first there were many positives such as professionalism, quick edits and guidance throughout. He was able to make an appointment, meet with a TLAC representative and express his vision for his project. The communication was professional, timely and gave great confidence to us that TLAC was able to meet our expectation for this project. Long story short, it all came to an end when the TLAC employee that was working on our project was removed and replaced with “General Manager” Mark. Right away we could see an adjust in the type of work that was coming back to us. We kept moving forward because the project was thankfully almost finished when Mark took it over. After going back and forth on email with edits that needed to be made Mark sent us an email saying ‘Our project is complete’. Automatically my husband new it was rushed through and there is no way it was finished. The table of contents headings 1-20 didn’t line up properly. Some have a number and a space before the chapter title, some don’t. Missing collins (:) etc. Very minor errors but to say it was finished is embarrassing. Dissatisfaction was expressed, again. Denied being able to talk to a superior, Mark then admitted to the reason being for all the inconveniences, errors and lengthly wait times on simple edits is because he has to send them to his colleagues in India and wait for them to come back. The lack of passion and work ethic put in was not even close to the treatment we experienced when we first starting working with TLAC. I know for a fact 95% of the amazing reviews about TLAC are NOT from Marks work. I can tell by the dates. I would never recommend TLAC as long as Mark is in charge of your work nor will I come back for future collaborations.

I’m thoroughly impressed with the high-quality print work on my comic book. Friendly and helpful staff have helped through every step. We are now two issues into the series and continuing to work with TLAC.

Truly a seamless experience from beginning to end. Mark made our vision come to life with superior customer relations, including courtesy calls during and after the job to ensure satisfaction. We needed a large run of books with high quality at a moderate rate, and that's exactly what we got. I would absolutely recommend TLAC to anyone looking for a great printing experience.

I am so glad I chose TLAC! They got the work done and I'm really satisfied with it. So thankful for them, their help, and their customer service. If you ever need a book to bind or any similar work done, go with TLAC!

TLAC gave excellent and reliable service through out the entire publishing process, it took me personally a very long time with my project because of things going on on my personal end and difficulties I was having with myself personally. And I always felt that through out the very long time that it took that Mike Pietrobon was always their to help me the best he could and that he helped me and preformed for me to the very best of his abilities. Thank you Mike Pietrobon for getting me through the process of publishing, I feel that you and your organization provided the BEST service possible! I have given TLAC a 5 star review as can been seen here, and I advise any one interested in printing and publishing to try TLAC. Thank you again TLAC and Mike Pietrobon! For everything you provided for me and did for me during the time we were doing our transactions!

I had my PhD thesis printed and bound by TLAC. They did a phenomenal job. Service was fast, efficient and professional and the books turned out great. I would highly recommend TLAC for any printing needs and will definitely be using them again in the future.

It's nice to know we still have a reliable high-quality self- publishing press. Mike, was very patient with my 81-years-old demands and idiosyncrasies. TLAC did an excellent job, on time, and with patience. I am going to them again with my next book. Keep up the good works.

This has been our third year printing festival materials with TLAC Toronto for our organization and I can honestly say that the quality of product and service that the TLAC Team offers is phenomenal.

We're so appreciative of Mark & the TLAC Team for being so understanding about our time constraint and were consistently communicating with us all updates in a very prompt manner. They were immensely professional and handled our order with care and precision. We cannot thank them enough for being such a friendly group & we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Dear Mike,

I want to thank you for the BEAUTIFUL job you did on the St. Basil book for the Basilian Fathers. I took one of the newly bound books over to one of the priests in our retirement facility. He was overjoyed to see the new binding and was very pleased to have his own copy of the “new” book. He told me “Having this book in my possession makes me want to read it again … and I shall do that. ”

Mike, working with you is a pleasure. You all have done several jobs for me over the past few years. Always, the cost is reasonable and the work is first class.
