WOW!!! Completely blown away. Mr. Zacarías is a talented man!! Brought in 7 books for repair, one being a bible with the cover torn off and another was a poor Richard's almanac from 1890's completely falling apart. Some smaller books also but he did justice to all. Extremely kind and easy to talk to. Both he and his wife are gems!! So glad I met them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

My son was gifted/entrusted with a 30 year old Bible. His birthday wish was to have the cover replaced as the original was torn, cracked, and bent. 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. read more

See all

Classical Bookbinding did an absolutely fantastic job reviving my old family bible (Printed circa 1827) for a very fair price. The number of businesses that offer book restoration have dwindled greatly over the years, and fewer take the time to do it right. So its nice to see that there is still someone around with the passion and skill to keep our antique texts on the shelf. My book required a great deal of care and attention as it is very old and practically falling apart. What I received back was a solidly restored book, sporting a beautifully hand stitched and respectfully ornate blue leather cover, per request. A look fitting of the antique piece. Great care was also taken not to alter or damage the interior contents, including signatures on the original cover. The couple running the show are genuinely kind and welcoming and are serious about the work they do. If you're in the market to have a book rebound, give Roy and April at Classical Bookbinding's a call! read more
