De Rerum Natura
 
Our craftsmen at the Harcourt Bindery created this designed binding on a new translation of De Rerum Natura by Lucretius.  The concept of the heavens was used to capture the scope of the volume, and the stars which look so randomly placed yield the title among an orderly chaos.  As a prank, the stars arranged on the cover are the astrological sign of Ares, the Ram, under which the translator of this edition was born."

Dear Sam,

It's gorgeous! Janet thinks it is one of your best--and there's lots of excellent competition.

Thanks, David

A Perfect Fit

Dear Sam,


The boxes you made for us are perfect in every regard. I'm very pleased, and I know our donors will be too. Thanks to you and your colleagues for your wonderful work.

Best regards,
Ted

Thanks for telling us!!

 Dear Sam,  

The Hollingsworth genealogy books are beautiful.  The copies are nearly identical to the original.  The cover is a near perfect match.  And, the  restoration of the original will insure its lasting another hundred years. I know that the family, both near relatives and those more distant, will be happy to have this ancestral  record.

I was slightly surprised that the books arrived before the final bill.  However,  with your experience and in your particular business,  you probably do not expect final payment to be a problem.   How wonderful.  How contrary to present practice.  Anyway, the Invoice arrived and the check will be in the mail tomorrow morning.

Much thanks for a truly interesting and pleasant experience.
