We took my mum's beloved cookbook for repair as a surprise for her birthday. It has great sentimental value with an inscription on the inner cover, and Meg did a wonderful job bringing it back to life. From the initial enquiry, Meg has been fantastic – always quick to respond, and so helpful. Thank you for getting it done so quickly for us; my mum was really pleased!

We have a very old and large burials register in the church that was falling apart. The spine had become completely detached from the pages and it was increasingly difficult to use as the pages kept falling out. A very kind and generous person contacted Meg and paid to have this book restored for us.Meg has done an absolutely superb job and the register has been sensitively and meticulously repaired. It took quite a long time because it required many stages to debind, clean, repair and rebind and it's a large register. We also now have a bespoke fitted external slide case to fit the final dimensions of the new binding in the same cloth finishing. So it was well worth the wait.Meg was extremely helpful and also provided a personal courier service when she was in the area, delivering the register safely back to us in person.Totally happy with the entire experience, would definitely recommend and use again without hesitation. Thank you.

Meg has done a tremendous job in restoring a church’s graveyard register that is 100 years old and was falling apart and risking further damage while it was being inspected. It needed the care and attention that was actually given by this superb and expert book binder. She also made a slide-in box to safely store the register. Absolutely fantastic.

I'm extremely pleased with the work done on three vintage 'Babar' books. I think the work was done with great skill and care, and the books are now in a condition to be used again with no fear of causing further damage. (One in particular was falling apart before.) Great job, I would definitely recommend. One more point: if you're having your book(s) sent back to you, it's worth noting that mine were really well packaged up.

I am so delighted with the outstanding work that Meg has done on an important piece of family history. The address book, from a much loved holiday cottage, was in an advanced state of decay and without attention would have only been damaged further. Meg created a new binding with new cover entirely in keeping with the original, making assorted repairs and adding new pages to extend its life. It was a real pleasure to work with such an expert. Thank you Meg for your thoughtful and talented restoration of our treasure.
