FAIR AND REASONABLE PRICING
Mechling’s competitive pricing is hard to beat.

I have always been satisfied with the quality of printing, especially the pictures.

DURABLE BINDING
Their perfect bound books hold up well, even after heavy use.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Their personalized service ensures that nothing is overlooked.

GRAPHIC ARTS DEPARTMENT
No question is too big or too small for their professional and knowledgeable staff.

COURTEOUS AND FRIENDLY SERVICE
The entire Mechling staff have made me feel more like a member of the family than an account number. I have come to trust and rely upon the folks at Mechling Bookbindery for all my printing and binding needs.

  I just received my rebound Bible today and I can’t keep my hands off it!!! The quality and “Hand” you have infused into the binding of my bible is astounding. I love the blue goatskin, and the font of the gold lettering. I whole heartedly agree with the other testimonials on your website and their statements about quality service and workmanship. This was a rush order and I am so grateful to have my Bible rebound in such quick turnaround time.
  I also want to thank Linda for her diligence in contacting me regarding my payment confusion. She was a delight to speak with.
   Many Thanks and Praise! I’ll undoubtedly pass on your name!                 ~Pam Barlow

  I wanted to write you this email and let you know what a wonderful job your company did on recovering my Cambridge Bible.  The people I spoke with were very helpful also.  I have had other bibles recovered at other company's and yours by far was the BEST!!
  I will be sending other bibles this year.  Again thank you for the great work you all do and keep it up.  Anyone that ever asks me where to have a bible recovered I will be sure to tell them about your company.  Again many thanks.             ~Roger Huff

BOOKS...MADE TO ORDER
SUBJECT: Fast service!

  I ordered a book on Thursday afternoon and by Friday at 5:00 I had the book.

  It was the St Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Monaca Parish Records 1835-1900 by Ruff.

  I was amazed at the amount of family information was in that book.  It confirmed the info I had and gave me more.  One in particular opened up an entire branch of the Hartenbach tree that I was unaware of.  I even spoke with a descendant of that tree yesterday.

  Because there was so much info in that book, I know you will be getting orders from other people that are interested as I have called them.  I plan to call the curator at Theil College tomorrow so she can order the book.  She had informed me that in archives that she handles there are only records from 1925 until the church closed in 2004.

  When I called about the book, the gal I talked to got a book from the shelf and assured me that the surname of Hartenbach was included.  That was wonderful news to me.  The book has been wonderful.  
  Again, thank you for your service.

Wow! I just received the Bible you recovered for me and it exceeds my wildest expectations. The leather is gorgeous and the quality of the rebind is superb.  Thank you so much!                                                                                        ~ Best, Steve

  Thank you for the gorgeous job you did rebinding my Bible. I really appreciate your creativity; the green lining and headband to complement the ribbons are perfect details!                                                                                      ~ Steven Brooks

  I am so pleased with my rebinding job. The leather is a beautiful burgundy, and so supple and rich. The craftsmanship is excellent. The pages that were coming apart are now as tight as when I purchased the Bible in 1977.                            ~ Marta Wingler
I just received my two Bibles in the mail. WOW! I am very pleased with how they turned out. What excellent craftsmanship!  These are my personal Bibles that I have had for many years, and they are used a lot. The outside was falling apart, but you made them look new again. One day, I will pass them on to my children, and I can imagine that based on your fine work, they should last a long, long time. They even smell great!! Nice leather!                                                                                                ~ Ron Lytle

  WOW!!!!!  I just received my Bible today and your rebinding is SUPERB!!!!  Thank you so very much for the beautiful workmanship to allow me to continue using my "old Faithful".....it is just like new.  I LOVE the super soft leather!!!!! (Can you tell how very happy I am? It will be a joy to tell people about the wonderful job you did for my precious and much loved Word of GOD! 
  Thank you so very, very much!  May the LORD continue to bless the work of your hands!                                               ~ Shoshanah

  I am truly elated with the restoration you performed on our family Bible. We cannot believe the difference in the before and after pictures. The adjectives that best describe your work are “wow”, “phenomenal”, “fantastic” and “beautiful.”                                                                                            ~ Bill Webster

  When I did a  price comparison on the Internet, your company offered the best price with the best options. I am so happy that I chose Mechling.  Thank you for the great work and service.
        ~ Chris Terry, senior pastor, Marathon, NY

  I received my Bible from my father 25 years ago . . . so was nervous about sending it anywhere to be rebound. You took great care of it. The new binding even seems more solid than the original. 
        ~ Kim Willard
We are VERY pleased with the work you did for us on the calendars. This is the best job we have had done yet! We look forward to working with you on other projects.
~Aaron Steinheiser, Manager, AK Steel

We have received our Cactus & Succulent Society journals and are very pleased with the bindings; they match all of our other bound volumes.
~ Merwin M Brandon, Jr.

The book that I had printed by Mechling Bookbindery was top quality and a very reasonable price.  I am very satisfied with doing business with Mechling Bookbindery and would use them again for future contracts.
~ Andrew Kovacs

I received my order today, and I'm stunned! They're so masterfully crafted and beautiful! The end result was definitely even more impressive than I had expected. I will be choosing your company for all of my future bookbinding needs. Thank you for your services.
~Jeremy
My experience with Mechling Bookbindery was unsurpassed. A fellow author had recomended Mechling in many glowing terms but "responsive and cost effective" were the two that sold me on trying them for my latest book. I was delighted with the cooperation and the quality of the final product. I will use this wonderful resource for my next book and have already recommended them to two other authors.
~Miles Athey, Author

I have so many good memories over the years with Mechling. In fact, they have become like a second family to me.  In addition to being scrupulously honest, they are meticulous publishers.  Each volume of my County Chronicles is a top-quality book, from cover to cover. I have received countless compliments on the appearance of my County Chronicles series--books I am proud to put my name to.  My readers love the books, and often comment on how nice the Mechling folks are to do business with. It is not only satisfying working with Mechling, it is wholly enjoyable.
~Ceane O'Hanlon-Lincoln, Author/Historian

You have done an outstanding job preparing my books for printing. I am very grateful for your guidance throughout this process. I was a bit overcome with emotion when handed the proofs for the first time. Having that opportunity to see a “hobby writing” project in such a professional form was more of a shock than I expected!
~Marlen Lang, Author
   I received the Bible today in the post and I cannot use enough words to express my deepest appreciation to you and the folks at your company for such a superb job.
   I am overwhelmed. I will certainly pass the word to anyone who needs a binding job for an old Bible or any other work of that nature. Thank you for the beautiful work on this old friend of mine that I have faithfully used over the last forty years. It has really become a treasure. . .and my daughter who lives here in Japan will receive it as part of her inheritance.
   I was recommended to your company by the R L Allan company of Scotland, through whom I purchased an ESV large print Bible. The cover of that was so beautiful that I first approached their company about having this Bible rebound. They recommended that I contact the Mechling Company in the U.S. and gave me your information.
   If I had replaced this Bible through the Japan Bible Society (for-profit company), I would have had to pay $216.00 at the current exchange rate. It would have had a leather cover of less quality than the one you removed from my old Bible. My Bible was purchased in 1971 for around $10.00 U.S.
   Because there are less than 0.5% Christians in Japan, the demand for Bibles is very low. I have a copy of the Confraternity translation that I purchased from the same company two years ago at the price above.
   You can understand how thrilled I am to have this old friend looking so good and so usable in my work. I preach and teach only in Japanese, even though I was born and raised in Southern California.
   I have lived less that 5 years total in the U.S.A. since 1967, so I have wondered about my people, but I have renewed confidence in the abilities of hard-working Americans to turn out a good product. Yours is the best.
   God bless you folks and your work. It is an honor to Our Father in heaven for people to work so lovingly and caringly with the gifts of their minds and hands. You truly have an amazing ability.
