Is a long time business in Mentone. This is actually my second time in need of book repair actually the same book my study Bible. They did a good job many many years back when I had it repaired and I just need a small repair now highly recommend them if you need book repair.

Having had experience here in the past, I was shocked to see some of the reviews for this business. So today I went in to see for myself what was going on. An elderly gentleman met me at the door. And going in I saw that there was plenty of work waiting to be done. The man told me his name was Michael, and as we talked I realized he was suffering from a form of Alzheimer’s. He himself said that he could not remember things from the past 10 years but he had very good memory of things before that. Perhaps he is not living in his prime any longer. And perhaps if you have a book there to be bound, you may want to pick it up because I am not sure he can remember to get it done by any certain date. He did mention that he has a partner that works there also, and that he was in the business for 50 years. So I’m guessing he’s got to be pretty old too. Extend this business some grace and realize it’s heyday may have been in the past.

I cannot comment on quality or price of work because we didnt get that far. The owner (Mike?) is a grumpy, old man intent on spreading misery. My girlfriend called during his normal business hours and asked a simple question. He mumbled something rude and hung up on her.We werent expecting 5-star, luxury service, but how about at least 2 stars worth? Nope. Weve already thrown away his number and will go elsewhere. Time for him to retire if he cant be civil on the phone.

I had books repaired an they do a good job but their hours of operation makes them extremely unaccessible and completely uncompatible with the normal hours of clients . Who has 7 to 11 am available? and they dont open on wekends

Excellent workmanship! Had a couple books repaired/rebound here. They turned my tattered tomes into elegant heirlooms.

One of the few places that restores books. Excellent work but not expedient and not cheap.

When you click on the link for this business the link takes you to a blogger, not to the book store. Does the store have a website?
