Barbara Varley – Ballina Library

"As a professional appraiser and former collector of handbound leather books I was immediately impressed by the quality of your bindings, end pages, and paper. Your work is nothing short of superb. I have been a professional appraiser for 41 years. In that time I have seen very few books comparable to yours."

Thank you once again for doing such a tremendous job with the certificate. We could never have imagined that it would end up looking so good. As long as my family can remember it was always badly stained (and that's at least 60 years)!! Now, for us, it's almost like new. It is so bright and the...

I am very impressed with the all the items conserved. The valuation books are certainly a big improvement and being stored in the folders now will be much better. It is also brillant to get the graveyard map and the Drogheda ledgers treated and returned and the phase-boxes are a great addition.

When I did the Merchants & Tradesmen course, Benjamin taught with great skill and a good sense of humour, and the small size of the course allowed him to give us all the attention we needed to complete and individualise our projects. The teabreaks and meals were a great opportunity for more personal conversations with Benjamin and his lovely...

Thanks to Benjamin and Ineke for hosting us for a wonderful weekend of bookbinding. We thoroughly enjoyed learning our new bookbinding skills from Benjamin - which we've been able to put into practice since the workshop thanks to his clear instruction and guidance. A really enjoyable, engaging and interesting two days - we would highly recommend the course...

Kasia & Vinny – Read That Image

I want to thank you for the excellent job you did on the 1916 Proclamation which I had a chance to examine a few days back. I also felt the price for the work was very reasonable, and less than estimated.

Bill Callanan S.J. – Chairman Jesuit Library Board

This day last week Jean and I were starting on what turned out to be the most enjoyable weekend for a long time, beginning to learn about bookbinding. We both loved it, we learned so much and you somehow managed to make the experience both intensive and relaxing at the same time - quite an achievement!...
