If you look at books around your house you'll find a mixture of possiblities. The above is a starting point and allows for mix and matching and you don't have to put all of any of these, I've seen
a book with just one testimonial on the back or a quote in the front flap or no authour photo.
Put together what you feel works for your needs and we'll look it over and perfect it.
