I have worked with John Bond for more than 10 years on three book publishing projects. John Bond is the quintessential publishing consultant. His integrity and work ethic are refreshing and rare!  John’s expert knowledge of the publishing industry, remarkable sense of teamwork, genuine encouragement, and thoughtful generosity create a trustworthy and professional relationship and collaborative and successful experience for the individuals and organizations that work with him on publishing projects.

The best thing about working with John Bond is not his extensive knowledge of publishing and his unique ability to envision and articulate innovative products.  Those are invaluable attributes that have made him highly successful in the publishing world and a pleasure to collaborate with.  However, what I appreciate most about John are his interpersonal skills.  He is very candid, trustworthy, and communicates in a manner that makes the end result clear and instills confidence in the process and product. John’s combined publishing knowledge and interpersonal skills make him an ideal consultant for publishers, associations, and authors pursuing innovative book and journal publishing.

As an author of two textbooks, each with multiple editions, John Bond was my publisher for 25 years.  Never once in hundreds of interactions was I disappointed in his support or assistance.  I value his wisdom and expertise.   He encouraged me to take risks in my writing that other authors were reluctant to take and supported my efforts 100% to very successful outcomes.   When I needed advice, he was always thoughtful in his responses, and helped me to make the best decisions by clearly outlining his perspective on the choice I needed to make.  He has become a cherished colleague and friend, one that I value so much that I dedicated the last edition of one of my texts to him.

I first met John at a conference when I was introduced by a colleague of mine as a potential book co-author.  Shortly thereafter, I proceeded to work with John on two book publications and a two-disc interactive educational series. Apart from his knowledge of the publishing world, I was especially impressed with his passion for growing our profession and becoming a front runner in professional education. I soon came to realize that his passion for our profession extended to his passion for me as a professional and as a friend.  I firmly believe that is what sets John apart from others.  He truly cares about the projects he is working on, and equally cares about the authors he is working with. He has a unique skill set that is driven, yet compassionate.  Through his strong work ethic and sincere approach, he instills mutual respect in a relationship that fuels any project idea and/or timeline.

His years of intimate experience in the publishing industry became evident and helpful during the course of a project. John sets high standards for quality in the products he is associated with yet genuinely cares about the people involved.  I am proud of the work I have accomplished under him and privileged to call him friend.

I’ve had the privilege of working with John Bond in my role as chief editor or author on multiple ophthalmic surgical textbooks. He’s been the consummate professional who has gained the respect of everyone in the publishing business, and particularly from the physicians he has worked with. John’s been like a top movie producer who sets up the director (the editor) and the actors (the chapter authors) for success. In this role he’s been supportive of our needs, sensitive to our clinical demands, and has always provided sound insights and advice—ranging from selecting topics and authors to designing book covers.

I have had the privilege of working with John over the past 25 years.  John is a true professional; he thoroughly knows the publishing business, clearly understands the issues in dealing with medical content, and is a clear thinker and a "straight shooter" in dealing with authors.  In addition, John understands the nuances of having texts in English published in other languages.  I have no hesitation in giving John my highest recommendation.  Those who seek his advice will be very fortunate.

To me, a successful publisher needs to have three key abilities: an in-depth knowledge of the publishing business, an ability to connect and communicate effectively with authors, and a keen awareness of the importance of marketing. John has all three. I have known John for 10 years, and as an author have worked with him as the publisher on six ophthalmology textbooks. The tremendous commercial success and popularity of these books is a testament of John as a first-rate publisher. It has been an honor and pleasure to work and learn from John.

Another strength is John’s ability to mentor new authors.  In 2000, I was one of those new authors.  With his help and support, this book is now going into its third edition.  In addition to helping me, I have referred multiple colleagues to him for advice with regard to ideas for a new book. I cannot say enough about his willingness to help the authors working with him and his knowledge of the publishing world.  He has been a great help to my career. I have sought his help many times in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

John keeps in touch with authors and is always open to new ideas. When I had an idea for a book, it was John I would call to get his opinion. He understands what's already out there, and where there are gaps. He always made sure the latest thinking in a field was represented: he understands the need to keep up with current trends and research.
