I reached out to several book binding companies to receive approximate quotes. I received quotes ranging from $200-$400. I was in shock! I decided to reach out to one more company and that's when I found Classical Book Binding out of Stratford, CT and received the most reasonable quote. We scheduled an appointment to bring the Bible in to have the cover replaced and I got to meet both Kathy and Steadroy. They are the nicest people and had a great sense of humor. Steadroy did an amazing job as you can see from the before and after pictures. I could not believe the details he added from the gold foil lettering and design to the embossed design details both in the front and spin. He is a true professional, craftsman, and artist. Kathy was a pleasure to work with in answering my questions, scheduling our appointments, and being so understanding and sweet. I HIGHLY recommend Classical Book Binding in Stratford, CT.

On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.

I am absolutely aghast at the inept job these people did. I gave them my only file copies of a…read moremagazine I edited many years ago. It would have been an easy job for most bookbinders (and I know, because over the years I've dealt with binders in NYC and LA who did a total of seven volumes for me). But Turul did an amateurish job. The binding isn't square; the space between front cover and the first magazine gives it the effect of a looseleaf binder. Threads at least an inch long protrude from between magazines. Looking at either the top or the bottom you can see how unevenly the magazines have been stitched together. Adding insult to injury, they estimated four weeks to do the job. Six weeks passed without any word, and I finally called them the other day and it STILL wasn't done. I'm convinced they rushed the job because they're going on vacation for a month beginning next week. I'm heartbroken. For years these copies sat in a box, and I rarely looked at them for fear I would inadvertently damage them. Finally I decided to have them bound so I could have the pleasure of reviewing my work from long ago. Well, now they're ruined. Folks, if you're thinking about binding magazines and getting repairs on books that mean a great deal to you for sentimental reasons, do NOT trust them to these people.
