What People Say
The whole process could not be easier. Kevin has done a brilliant job of turning my design for a collector’s stamp into a hand tool. The set of Centaur handle letters look great too. They were all done in less than a week and delivered to California in just a few days, amazing. Thank you, Kevin.
Kevin and Kerry made a great effort to accommodate my changes at short notice, which was very much appreciated. The stamps are of high quality, and excellent value. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Fabulous customer service, very quick turn around and great brass stamps that make my makers mark look even better! Thank you so much to bookbindesigns for a really helpful experience – I will definitely be using you again when I need more stamps.
