David was able to restore the spine of my book seamlessly. (The front board was detached from the spine, he did a reback procedure attaching new leather and mending it with with the old leather). On another visit he advised us on how to best care for our books and directed us in making the best decision for them. He polished some of the leather on a few new items which brought the gold details in the spine back to life. He is thorough and knowledgeable in his craft

Worth every cent! The attention to detail is above and beyond, a real art. The binders craftsmanship is impeccable, words are not enough. I use this 70 year old mini gem every day, three times a day, and it was falling apart. I missed it so much while it got worked on. So I can’t state enough how much I value having it all put together like new. Knowing what this book has been through and how it was brought back is a priceless gift. He also spent some time teaching me how to better care for it in the future. He is an awesome guy! I’m very grateful and thankful that it was rescued by more than capable hands. Will take good care of it from here on out, because the care and artful efforts of Mr. David are worth appreciating. Wishing I had before pictures, Magnificent job!
