“I cannot tell you how pleased I am
with the quality support, assistance and final product of our
Battalion Deployment Book. Michael has been absolutely awesome and
has worked very hard to make this book the BEST Deployment Book that
I have ever seen. The quality of this book is just tremendous at an
amazingly fair price, all color as well. I could not be happier and
the Marines that have seen them were thrilled with how it all came
together. I salute this fine company for a job well done and would
recommend them to anyone who wants to preserve the unit lineage in
this way. I can assure you of one thing, on my next deployment; he
will most certainly have my business. I give him the max, four stars
for a job well done. Thank you Michael, you are a true
professional.”

Between
1997-2000 our firm published as many as three local weekly publications
for the U.S. Army and Air Force Base communities within
Europe. The USAF newspaper earned the "Best small commercial
publication in USAFE for year 1999" |

The very first Cruise
books we ever created, were for the "TOPHATTERS" of the Strike Fighter
Squadron
Fourteen (VFA-14), VMAQ-2, VMAQ-4 and also for the MALS-13
U.S.M.C.
These projects were done at a time when these and numerous other units
were deployed to the Mediterranean,
(Apr 93-Dec 95) as part of NATO's "OPERATION
DENY
FLIGHT"
campaign within the Balkans. During the same period, we also published
a number of High School Year books for the DODDS School
system, we
chose however, specialization within the Military Cruise book market.
A choice that we are very pleased with |

More than three years ago,
we declined a chance to bid on becoming the publisher
for the USAF Academy's Yearbook, for a three year period. The
reason
is that we did not want to pool our
resources to one single project or to establish a new office
within the state of Colorado. Just having been
considered for this project however served
as an inspiration to the entire staff |

more than 20 years, Michael Glatz has collaborated with The Sedge

"I
have known Michael Glatz as both a friend
and professional for more than 25 years and can readily
attest that he has the
unique ability to surround himself with experts to get any
job done, never letting his objectives out of his
sights. In addition to being a visionary, I have seldom seen a
someone with
such drive and motivation to take care of his clients and protect his
reputation"

in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which we both serve as elected Officers.
I have seen his Cruise book
products and am extremely impressed with the quality and low pricing
of the books. I truly believe that
doing a book with his firm,will save any command money and provide a product second to none"

"I must first state that
I have known Michael Glatz and dealt
with his Cruisebooks.net service for a relatively short time. In that
short period, Michael has shown that he is
a person of action with an ability of getting things done. He was
instrumental
in helping me design and implement my vision of a website that allows
me to share my relatively large military cruise book collection with
the rest of the military community"
