Testimonials

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"It was a pleasure working with Meryl. She offered excellent solutions to restore my Mother's 70 year old family Bible, that was falling apart. Meryl professionally made new covers and spine with beautiful soft leather of the same color as the original material. She artfully transferred original book exterior cover images to the new project. In addition, Meryl separated interior pictures from the old cover and applied them to the new cover seamlessly, with great care. I would highly recommend M. Perloff Book Arts. These are after pictures, the Bible is like new and we are now not afraid to use it again."

"I have just picked up a family heirloom Atlas circa 1951 that was in sore need of a new spine and corners. Ms. Perloff did a fantastic job with the restoration, and to my huge relief, it was affordable and done in under a month.

I am over the moon with the result

She is a resource and treasure, SLO is quite lucky to have her talent."

"I worked with Meryl on two books. I was thrilled to find someone to repair books in Slo. But in addition to meeting someone who repairs books, it was a delight and a pleasure to work with her. One project was an old dictionary that was falling apart and had sentimental value. Meryl made a new cover and put it back Together beautifully. The other project was a favorite cookbook that had turned into loose leaf sheets. She did her magic and now it is beautifully bound and so much more usable. If you love books and need some repairs, you can do no better than taking them to Meryl Perloff. I am so appreciative she is in our community."

This art teacher’s book held memories for her daughter, also an artist. The pages were stabilized and the cover was refurbished with new details.

Many large Family Bibles are the victims of time and use. Bringing them back to stability for continued use is satisfying for its owner and me.

A friend brought a book to me as a repair project joke. It had been mauled during the delivery process. As a challenge, I wanted to see what I could do to restore it.
