What Our Authors Say

“Publishing a book with Canada Law Book is an author’s dream. From manuscript to sales, the expertise and dedication of its people are outstanding. All of the professionalism and standards of an international conglomerate with the care and attention of a family. You can’t get better treatment anywhere else. And you can quote me on that.”

David M. Beatty

“I have worked with Canada Law Book for over 25 years with respect to several publications including the Canadian Criminal Cases and Martin’s Annual Criminal Code.  This experience has been uniformly positive.  The editorial staff has always provided the best possible support.  They are extremely careful and attentive to detail.  Everyone with whom I have dealt at Canada Law Book has been unfailingly courteous, considerate and flexible.  They are constantly striving to improve the publications with new ideas.  In my view, the Canada Law Book publications are always of the highest calibre because of the care taken throughout the process, the quality of support that the company offers to its many authors and the pride that all of the employees take in their work.”
