Meg beautifully re-bound a collapsing Visitors' Book - in half calf and marbled paper with extra... pages added. It was sorted out by email and she produced exactly what I had in mind.read more

I have sent five books from my childhood to Meg for repair-each of them badly damaged. They have... all been sent back stable and beautifully restored to last for the next generation. She is also very reasonable priced and very efficient. Thank you Meg!read more

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.read more

I had two very old books (1930's/1940's I think)which I had loved as a child and one ("A Christmas... Carol" free gift edition) which I have read to my children in instalments at bedtime over the Christmas season. for many years past.Both had become extremely well worn and falling apart, but Meg has made a really first class and beautiful job of restoring them sympathetically, so that although they are clearly old, they are once more firm and lovely to hold and will stand many more years of reading into the future.I am absolutely thrilled with this, and have great enthusiasm in unreservedly recommending her bindery to anyone who wants to be similarly delighted.read more

Meg is an expert in her field, and shared that expertise with us when we brought a heritage Bible... to her for repair and re-binding. She explained exactly what was needed, and why. The finished work was outstanding. We will have no hesitation whatsoever in bringing our next repair and re-binding project to Meg.read more
