The log book is beautiful
Good morning Robert,
The log book is beautiful. I met Sam and he seemed quite pleased with it as well. Mr. Cox is thrilled, as I knew he would be. Thank you for all of your hard work and due diligence. I mentioned to Sam that we have another book here in the office which needs to be rebound and once I get the boss to focus on it, I will be in touch. It wonโt be as intricate, but it needs to be done.
Thank you again, and I am very happy that our contacts at Harvard pointed us to Harcourt Bindery.
Have a great day and go Pats!
Thank you,
Sandy,

As Usual, "Harcourt" Exceeded my Expectations
Hello Sam
Received the Mark Twain and as usual you exceeded my expectations. the dark green Nigerian and the light tan linen-like board covers really go well together. This is the nineteenth LEC you have rescued from anonymity of a 30s or 40s design and taken a beautifully printed and illustrated book into the 21st century. George Macy's books still work today, but he didn't have the materials available to do his books justice. Rebinding his books preserves the typography, letterpress printing, and great illustrations for furture generations.
Next year we will be preserving another dozen or so LECs and I look forward to working with you.
Best,
Don

The binding is fantastic
I received the new quarter leather Kennedy's Counterfeit Detector book. The binding is fantastic. Thanks for yet another great job.

Another job well done
I just wanted to say how much I like the House of the Seven Gables. Since many have Hawthorne shoved down their throat in high school, there are those who intensely dislike him. But I am not one of those. I especially like the marbled page ends with the end pages. Another job well done with your crew and Chena River. You will notice that I am reserving the marbled page ends for books which are American masterpieces.
I look forward to receiving Life on the Mississippi early next month, another American masterpiece.
Don
