Breanna Petzke – 5 Jul 2024
A huge thank you to the owners of Traditional Bookbinding!
This is my second order and I’m so impressed with the quality and range of tools and materials. The bookcloth is absolutely beautiful—I can’t wait to use it. I’ll definitely keep buying from here.

Sophia Walston – 13 Jan 2024
I love ordering bookbinding materials from here! They’ve got everything—from bookcloth to endbands and tools. I especially love the sample packs and fast, affordable shipping (even to NSW).
100% recommended!

I cannot speak highly enough of Traditional BookBinding’s service and high-quality work.
I had a book with huge sentimental value that needed restoration—Chi Chi and the team preserved it beautifully.

Leonie Mckerlie – 30 Apr 2022
Fantastic work by Chi Chi, who kept me informed through the whole process. I’m so pleased with my mum’s 90-year-old prayer book. It’s now ready to be used in her great-granddaughter’s wedding. Thank you again, Chi Chi—wholeheartedly recommended.

My partner needed someone to print and bind glider training material, and Traditional BookBinding delivered exactly what he wanted. The team went above and beyond with their service. The end result was perfect. Thank you!

Dear Chi Chi, My name is Lesley McCallum and you recently created a memorable book for me to mark my 80th birthday. What you and my daughter Jacqueline (Jax) have designed is humbling, inspiring, and so very beautiful. I’m deeply grateful for your professionalism and attention to detail. This book is now a unique and treasured piece.
Thank you and congratulations on your outstanding work. With best wishes, Lesley McCallum

Barb Mackie – 10 Dec 2020
Thank you, Chi Chi, for the wonderful job restoring my family Bible, photo album, and dictionary. They were in such a dilapidated condition—I can't believe the transformation. Perfect. Thank you also for making sure we were happy with every step. We surely are—and very emotional seeing the old Bible back together again! Thank you again, Barb and Allan Mackie

Ann Forster – 18 Oct 2020
Hi Chi Chi, thank you so much for the wonderful work you completed on our family Bible.
I was absolutely thrilled with the result and a little overwhelmed. You are very clever and talented. I can’t wait for my family to see what you’ve done.

Mandy Kay – 28 Jun 2020
I have no reservation in recommending Chi Chi highly enough for restoring a beloved family book or document back to life. She displays such professionalism, care and dedication to her craft. Thanks so much for restoring my grandmother's girls’ annual dated 1912. This book will now be enjoyed by many more generations.

Heulwen Taylor – 9 Jun 2020
Chi Chi did a wonderful job restoring our family's photo album, which is over 100 years old. It was a large book with a broken spine and was falling apart—now it’s a great heirloom for future generations. The quality of work is of the highest standard. Thank you so much.

Upsilon Arts – 11 May 2020
Ordered some headbands and the quality and price were excellent! Thank you for the swift postage as well.

Karen Grunow – 12 Mar 2020
Highly recommend. She restored our Bibles to a stunning degree. We are well pleased. Thank you so much xx.

Marcia Nichol – 12 Feb 2020
Chi Chi is so charming and gracious. She is very professional and explains the process of restoration in great detail. It was a pleasure to meet her and WOW—what a job she did on my grandmother’s antique book. Now I can pass this on to my grandchildren without fear of it deteriorating further. Thank you ever so much, Chi Chi.

Chris Mercier – 17 Mar 2019
Great work on repairing our family Bible. I didn’t think it would be possible to repair a Bible from the 1850s in poor condition to this standard. I’ll be recommending you to other people.

Dudley Wentzel – 13 Jan 2019
Thanks for doing an excellent job on my father's old Bible. Absolutely thrilled with the result.
