The binding is fantastic
 
I received the new quarter leather Kennedy's Counterfeit Detector book.   The binding is fantastic.  Thanks for yet another great job.

Another job well done
 
I just wanted to say how much I like the House of the Seven Gables. Since many have Hawthorne shoved down their throat in high school, there are those who intensely dislike him. But I am not one of those. I especially like the marbled page ends with the end pages. Another job well done with your crew and Chena River. You will notice that I am reserving the marbled page ends for books which are American masterpieces.
 
I look forward to receiving Life on the Mississippi early next month, another American masterpiece.

Breathless
 
Dear Sam,
 
Your letter arrived yesterday, about fifteen minutes ahead of the books.  When I unwrapped them my breath was taken away.  I should be used to it by now, but the brilliance of your work still knocks me out.  To say that I am delighted is a huge understatement.  The Clarendon has so many exquisite, subtle details.  The blind tooling on the covers and the edges brought a big smile to my face.  The balance between the blind tooling and the gold leaf work is superb, a resraint that can only be called "classic."  The Burckhardt ["History of the Renaissance"] is also a smashing success.  I love the gold-embossed cover design, right out of the period.  On the shelf the spine announces the work within just perfectly....thank you for all the extra trouble that is required to arrive at such terrific results!

Hello Sam -
 
Words can't describe how pleased I am with The Red badge of Courage. The rebinding cane out much better than I expected.
 
Best,
Don

Oh!, so Personal

Hi Robert:

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for completing our request of embossing our leather blackberry playbook cases last week.  They looked wonderful and we were very happy with the quality of the embossing.  You guys did an amazing job!!!  

The attendees loved receiving the playbooks and especially appreciated having their cases personalized. Thanks again!!!!
