John and Jack do an amazing work on old books, bibles, etc. They both are artists. They made a hard cover for a book that was torn apart and now looks like an oil painting. read more

If you want the best go to H & H, full stop! Jack and John are the modern day Rembrandts of book binding. I have used them many times and they never fail to impress. I brought them this oddly shaped flatiron "Traveling Icon" Skladen and they made this custom clam shell case. It's a work of art! read more

Hakob was so kind to work with and helped us fix a photo album. He stayed late even after the store closed to finish everything up for us. Would definitely recommend! read more

I came to these gentlemen with a very last-minute project that needed to be completed within a week. They went above and beyond working all week and even through Thanksgiving to get it done. Their craftsmanship is truly top-tier, and they completely saved the project I was working on with the beautiful book they produced. I couldn't recommend them more highly. -Ola read more

They restored a book with sentimental value to me. The title is "FUN with a pencil". The spine reads "FAN a pencil". They charged $450. The binding was in bad shape and that was fixed, so that's worth something, but they didn't even offer to fix the misspelled spine, or compensate with a partial rebate. I didn't press for a do over, as they tried make light of the situation, but I could tell they were embarrassed by their sloppy mistake. Stories about working for movies, or in exotic languages didn't take the sting out of the exchange. read more

We brought in a 150 year old family bible that had been stored in a family member's garage for decades and the spine had disintegrated. H&H did an amazing quality restoration and we couldn't be happier. They are artisans of the highest caliber. read more

These gentlemen did a great job on a minor book repair that I needed. They were very professional, knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommended. read more

These artists remade my old beat up King James Bible that I had the gall to glue back together at some point. I need to post before and after pictures. They helped me to custom make the new hard cover for my cherished Bible. It will last longer than the 26 years I've already owned it and make it the next 26 years in much better shape than the last. It will outlive me and even generations after me, thanks to H&H. It's my fervent prayer that my children and their children come to appreciate the not just the work of these men, but the pages in between the artistry. read more

I've been going to H & H exclusively ever since I found them years ago. After multiple disappointing experiences with other book binders, I found my go-to professionals for book restoration. Their shop is phenomenal and they can pretty much do whatever you need. For my most recent visit, I took my copy of The Great Gatsby's first edition to the shop to get it restored and had them make a clamshell box with design leather binding on the front to match the book itself. Some pages were bent n a few were falling off, along with other issues. I just got my package and the book is now in great condition. As if it was perfectly preserved all these years. And the box looks amazing! I'm really happy with the results. If you want the best you won't go wrong with these two. Thanks Jack and John! read more

I went to H&H Book Services with a family bible from 1873 which had been sitting in a box in a garage for decades, was completely falling apart and I was afraid to even open it for fear of damaging it more. H&H Book Services restored it to like new, and there was a lot of interesting family history within the pages of the book! These are skilled and honest craftsmen. Thank you very much! read more

10% student discount on bookbinding or restoration. H&H is a bindery that can also do conservation of old books. I keep their information on hand for a boss who collects old-ish Japanese books. I grew up around old books and I'm impressed at how they can repair tears on book jackets, cloth covers, ripped maps, and vellum endpapers. They work with book dealers, movie studios, and museums. read more

These men are beyond artists; their work is sheer genius! Having dealt with Jack & John for many years we never ceased to be amazed by their limitless creativity and artistry. Today we picked up our three boxes they made for our UK First Edition, First State copies of the LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY and were absolutely riveted to the spot when we saw the finished product. They had duplicated (to PERFECTION) the exact dust jackets....reproduced them EXACTLY on their stunning custom-made boxes, and the result leaves us without sufficient words to express our appreciation! Again.....no other fitting word but GENIUS! Mystery Pier Books, Inc. Members, ABAA, ILAB, ABA read more

I needed to get my parents wedding album rebound for Christmas and I looked EVERYWHERE. I heard about this place through a friend and immediately took my album to them. They definitely exceeded my expectations and returned the album to me in record time! 100% recommend these guys. Super friendly and helpful. read more

Nice, professional, and thorough place. Explained to me all the different options for restoring / re-binding my old books, and they were passionate about their work. read more

I have been going to H & H for over 10 years. They are by far the best when it comes to book repair and restoration. You can find lots of book repair businesses that will absolutely ruin your book, but these guys do museum quality repairs. read more

Great work, great service, I gave them several books and these books have been looking great for eight years already. The shape they were in was terrible and after their work the price of my books came back to the market price. read more

If I could give them negative 5 stars I would. I spent over twenty hours personalizing a book and I asked them to foil stamp the cover. They made not one but two mistakes on the cover and the repairs ruined the book. This book was to be auctioned off so it had to be perfect. I had to have another book made and explained to them I was now out of pocket for a second book and they refused to make it right and do the new book at at discount. So basically, they admitted they ruined my book and then told me I was out of luck and too bad. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE and I think the issue with the typos has to do with their English or lack of ... BEWARE they do sloppy work and treat their customers terribly! read more

Binding experts since 1976 Hovik and Hakop, are the BEST. I'm so happy with the service that I received from these two brothers. I had an old huckleberry fin book that was falling apart, the cover was separated from the binding and the pages were loose. They restored it to its original state. I can wait to see what they do with my mom's old bible. read more

My wedding was coming up and I had everything planned out but I forgot the sign-in book (typical) and needed one ASAP. My friend recommended me to H&H and they were able to make me my own 1 of 1 book. Unlike anything I've ever seen. My wife was astonished at how beautiful the book was. Soon as I stepped in their doors they made me feel like family and got every design I wanted down to the smallest details. Much respect for my brothers at H&H. read more

Went to two other stores to restore my book and they told me it was going to be difficult. However, they did tell me it might fail and I would lose a lot of value on my book. I completely felt like they weren't capable of doing the job. I then came to H and H book services and without any questions the owner told me it was restorable with no cons. They gave me a detailed description of the job. The great thing is, once they were finished with the job it came out better than I expected. Also, they stated the job was going to take 2-8 weeks, but I got a call just two weeks later saying it was ready. Great customer service and fast with their jobs. Highly recommend ! read more

H&H is the best, period. thanks jack and john! daniel z
