Raphaël has done wonderful work for us at Hebrew Union College Press. We publish scholarly work, as well as literature, poetry, etc., and many of our books are “difficult,” including complex combinations of languages – English and Hebrew, but also often Greek, Arabic, and Judeo-Arabic. Raphaël is careful and precise, and the books he’s set for us are all very attractive visually as well. Raphaël is also extremely pleasant to work with; he’s intelligent and funny, and always available to discuss anything that might come up.
