I am very happy to recommend Geir Madland as a proof reader. Even though I had read and re-read the text for my book ‘Sir Ambrose Heal and the Heal Cabinet Factory’ umpteen times, he has found inconsistencies, typographic errors, mis-spelt names (even obscure foreign ones) that I had missed.
The job was done speedily, conscientiously and within budget. For all of this I am most grateful to him.
Yours sincerely
Oliver S Heal
