Designed for You
“My Bible was literally coming apart at the seams. I did not want to replace because of my notes and the familiar pages. Boston Harbor Bookbindery is a rare find for people that want to preserve time worn books for personal use and for the generation to come. Not just for the business service offered, but also for the attention to detail, skilled workmanship, and personal pride that is very evident. Jeff reached out to me along the way to share progress and update the timeline as needed. It is clear that this is his passion. His work is first rate. I highly recommend Jeff for your next project. You will not be disappointed.”
Highest quality craftsmanship I have on my shelf
“Had my thesis for school bound a few years ago and more recently got two bound copies for myself. Turnaround time and cost is much better than many binders nationwide. Great communication throughout the process. Would recommend to anyone looking to bind a paper for school or for personal binding.”
“Jeff at Boston Harbour Bookbindery masterfully bound in leather a book of my father’s which I entrusted to his care. With great attention to detail and close consultation the finished product is something which will be treasured for generations.”
“Highly recommend working with Jeff for any leather book binding needs. He’s knowledgeable, personable and an artisan in his craft.
The books I had covered and bound by him for my daughters, are proudly displayed and always a topic of delightful conversation.
It will be a most enjoyable experience, to be sure!”
“From introduction to completion, Jeff was a top notch professional! Every question we had was answered thoroughly and in an educational format. This helped guide us during the planning stage, along with his knowledge, expertise and attention to detail, created a wonderful wine log book with old world flavor. It took over 4,000 cuts to create the wrap-around effect on the leather. The color of the leather and the fantastic inner pages provide warm wine colors with the feeling the book has been around a long time. We will enjoy logging our wines for years to come.
Great job Jeff!”
“Sound Leather Books made me a custom diary! I've been looking for a way to write down my cherished memories and stories. I didn't want "just" a diary...... I wanted a one-of-a-kind, personal diary that I could help create. The owner and collaborator is a true artist!! Professional. I'm so happy with my diary xoxo Thank you Sound Leather Books.”
“I had Jeffrey re-bind a particularly well loved book of mine that desperately needed a whole new home. It was pristinely done and I could not be happier!!”
