Milton Watkins Bookbinder

Milton has restored a collections of Shakespeare’s works for me. It was worth the wait to see my book restored to it’s original state after both covers became detached. A beautiful piece of work and wonderful to see an old craft still being practised.

My grand-daughter who loves to write stories is turning 7 so we designed a journal for her. My husband laid it out with lovely thick paper then Milton made it up so professionally. it looks and feels brilliant. She's going to love it. It even has her name embossed on the front and two pink bookmarks. The light doesn't do the deep violet colour justice. Thanks, Milton (no relation, BTW)

I can't believe my Bible is restored. Three months without my Bible, was very hard but it was worth the wait; my Bible is like the resurrection of Jesus! So overjoyed to have back to me the Word of God in my life that holds power and authority. Milton your work skills is beyond words! Thank you so much Milton.

I found Milton Watkins Bookbinder through a Google search. I asked if he could repair a favourite children's book from the 1980s that had a broken spine and was becoming more fragile with use. He did a beautiful job repairing the book. It is now strong and should go on to endure a few more generations of kids. If you're looking for an experienced bookbinder, check the before and after images on Milton Watkins' website. His work is very good - I highly recommend.

An immaculately finished piece - appropriately preserving a very old and cherished copy of the complete works from 'The Bard of Avon'. Thank you, Milton.

After having my book printed, I had trouble finding a book binder that offered what I was looking for until I found Milton and his web site. After explaining what I required he provided many options for me to choose from. Had a great turnaround time and once I received them, I was extremely happy with the finished product. Thanks, Milton, for presenting my books so that they will last for generations. Alan.

I enjoyed a seamless experience with Milton for the repair of an important book. His communication was clear, insightful and instilled trust. He offered a skilled solution at a fair price without pressure and I had my book back safely and quickly. It was a refreshing pleasure to transact with Milton. A trustworthy and clearly skilled operator who I’d recommend for future repairs.

We recently had my mother's old bible restored by Milton. Milton is very skilled and trusted; he did an exceptional job at restoring, rebinding and re-covering in a fine leather with beautiful embossing. If you wish to preserve your old precious books I would highly recommend that you give Milton a call. Five Stars. Thank you to Milton. Regards, Ruth.

Excellent quality of work from Milton. His attention to detail and the love for his craft is amazing. Great guy!! He gave my Bible a completely new look.
