A note from one of our clients... I just wanted to write and tell you what a fantastic job you and your company did in the rebinding or my book. I an scarcely believe it is the same book! The sewing, edge trimming and new cover and general cleanup are all surpurb and has transformed a tattered wreck that I found at a used bookstore into a new book that will last forever. Forest Halford
