Expansion Done, More Coming Soon!

Hi, this is Margie. Just thought I'd update you on the goings on in the website department. Besides the actual bookbinding expansion Eric talked about in his last post (new bookbinding presses), which is completed and should double his processing speed, I'm working on a bookbinding quote form for your convenience. (Don't try it yet, though. I'll let you know when it's done.)

We're also producing a new video for the site. This will show Eric in the process of evaluating a book, whether it simply needs a facelift an entire new cover, or something in-between. You can use this video by applying the principles of book evaluation to your own book or Bible, which will give you an idea of what services you'll need from us before you write or call.

More room in the shop

I'm expanding my bookbinding space. Not the shop, just the space, by reducing my book inventory and adding new workbenches and book presses. This is good news all around, since it will reduce the turn-around time, increase our sales and keep me gainfully employed.

It has also given me the opportunity to give away hundreds of free books, so if you happen to be in town and visit my shop, you better lock your car doors if you don't like to read. :-)

Speaking of turn-around time, if you have a pastor, or Sunday School teacher, or a missionary friend who needs a Bible rebound, we can put it on the fast track at no extra charge. Since October is Pastor Appreciation Month, it might be a good time to bring your pastor's Bible out of the duct tape look and into something more presentable.
