So my 2.5 year old enjoys books...alot and so does my 10 month old. The 2.5 year likes them a lil too much and wants to keep them himself. MR. PRESTON saw my urgency and came to the rescue! Professional, quick, honest, and very caring...will be using him again! So the first one of course one he has not yet done, but it is how they all looked and then the next 3 are the finished products.

Thank you so much for recovering and fixing the binding of my Bible! It looks beautiful!Mr. McNeil was great to work with and made sure I knew what he was going to do to my Bible.I would recommend to everyone!

Wonderful experience. I had my husband’s Bible recovered and it looks better than I could have imagined. Excellent, quality work!

I had originally asked Preston to recover my Bible. As he looked at it, he noticed that the cover itself was in good shape, but the binding needed some attention. Rather than agreeing to recover it, he suggested a simpler and much cheaper fix. In explaining what he did to repair the book, it was obvious that Preston loves what he does, and is a craftsman. He was a delight to interact with, and the process and product of his work were both very satisfying.

Preston did a fantastic job on my Dad’s Bible. He is precise and very detailed with his work. He explained each step of the repair to put my mind at ease. His attention to detail is unmatched and I would highly recommend Preston!

I was so overjoyed when I saw the repairs to our family’s nursery rhymes book. The repairs are beautiful. Preston was so kind- a real pleasure to work with. He explained how he would restore our book, he gave me a quote and a timeline. His extensive knowledge reassured me that he was the perfect person to restore our treasure. It was extra special when he finished it well in advance of our timeline just in time for Christmas. My mother-in-law was ecstatic when she unwrapped it. Now it will be able to survive another three generations!

My Bible was over 40 years old and the cover was coming off. I could have simply replaced it but it is too precious and personal. Gate City Binding did an excellent job of recovering it. It looks brand new. I am so pleased.

Thank you for restoring my Bible. You did a great job and I appreciate your work. I’m sure it will now last me for years to come. I would highly recommend you to anyone who may need your services. Thank you again...what you do is a lost trade.

My book was small, but he still treated it as if it was big. The customer service was great and we really love the results. After more than 20 years of carrying this little family Advent book around in a Ziploc bag, we’re finally able to use it in the way that it was designed. I highly recommend the service. Thanks!

Preston was both professional and friendly!!! He did an amazing job on my Bible that was in terrible condition after I tried to “glue” it back together.🙄.When I saw how he had repaired my Bible back to “NEW” I wanted to give him a big “hug” but it was during Covid-19 (2020)😩.Thank you Preston for all your hard work. It’s obvious you are really good at what you do!!!I highly recommend Preston because he is the“complete package”!!!😀😀

Preston is very professional and does high quality work. I was very pleased with the Bible he re-bound for my daughter. He made a bookmark from the spine of the old cover, which was very special.

Highly Recommend. He did a great job repairing my most priced possession, my 50 year old Bible given to me by deceased wife. Not only did he do a great job repairing the Bible, he also packed it so well when returning it to me, that it survived torrential rains because the Post Office had left it outside. The Bible would have been destroyed if he had not done a completely great job!!!! Thank you Gate City Binding

Preston did a great job repairing my deceased fathers bible. He had it ready in two weeks, a month sooner than promised. He takes pride in his work and he is a true gentleman. Highly recommended.

First, Mr. Preston is an exceptional man who wholeheartedly gives his clients unrivaled work with amiable bedside manner. Finding Gate City Binding online was an answer to my prayer concerning having my mother’s Bible fixed by someone talented and trustworthy.Mr. Preston fixed/restored my mother’s treasured Bible in an affordable, timely, and remarkable fashion. He addressed all of my concerns and the finished product was even better than I could have ever expected!! Every positive review written about Mr. Preston’s services is completely accurate, and I would genuinely recommend him to anyone. If it were possible to give a ten star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review instead five I wholeheartedly would with a clear conscience.Additionally, Mr. Preston has a beautiful family with the most heart-warming background story revealing what originally inspired his interest in book binding.

Despite the recent issues with covid, Mr. Preston continued on and had my daughters book finished. He communicated with us regularly and mailed the rebound book. It arrived quickly and was awesome! The leather is a nice quality and the burgundy is beautiful! Im so glad I found someone to assist me in teaching her how priceless the written word still is today. Definitely trust your pages to Gate City! 😊

Fantastic place to get books bound. I wanted to get my thesis bound as a gift, but all I had were the loose pages. He was able to create an absolutely beautiful book, with gold lettering on the spine. It looks like it came right off the library shelf! I am very pleased with the result, the cost, and the time and care he spent on it.

When my 98 year old mother passed away, I inherited her family Bible. It dates back to 1890. Her family has recorded special family events in the Bible throughout the years; it has been well used & cherished.The Bible is very large, has a hard cover, & contains beautiful colored pictures. Over so many years it had literally fallen apart: the spine was broken & pages had detached & were falling out. It was so fragile that it was becoming almost impossible to handle or read.A Google search led me to Gate City Binding & Mr. Preston McNeil. At our first meeting, my husband & I were taken by his friendly personality & genuine interest in our family Bible & its restoration. We felt confident leaving our Bible in his care.What he actually did was simply amazing!! He meticulously repaired the spine, reattached all pages, restored the cover & the entire Bible to beautiful condition. And, most importantly, he ensured that now our family can explore, read, & share each & every page!We gladly paid the reasonable amount he charged us but knew we could never adequately pay him for the personal care, expertise & love he put into his excellent work on our special Bible. We feel very blessed to be able to know & work with Mr. McNeil!

When my boyfriends mother passed away we wanted to get her very old family bible restored to give to her sister. Since she was only here in NC for a very short period of time we had to get this done in an unreasonably fast time frame so she could take it back to Florida with her. Mr Preston completely exceeded our expectations in quality and had it completed earlier then we needed!! We can’t thank him enough for doing this as it meant so much to her!! We highly recommend him as he does quality work at a very reasonable cost.

Thank you Preston for re-covering my books in leather binding. It looks beautiful. Quality work for a great price.

Gate City Binding was exceptional and professional to work with. The work was extremely well-done and within a timely manner. After having an idea for a gift but not really knowing how to move forward, Gate City Binding was the perfect partner to get the job done. Highly recommended.

Preston re-bound a bible for me using tan goatskin. It turned out beautifully - and he completed it sooner than expected! It was a pleasure to work with him. Whenever I need binding, I will take it to Preston.

Mr. Preston made a new cover for my husbands car manual. He way exceeded my expectations. He went the extra step to help keep the 51 yearold manual as original as possible. He was a pleasure to work with and takes pride in his work. I would highly recommend him for any book binding repair.First class person, providing professional service.

Preston is a true artist and loves what he does. He treated my wifes Bible with respect and honor. He informed us in advance of the options and what he could deliver. I recommend him highly.

This is was a remarkable experience with Preston, who has knowledge and care for books that is not easily found. He did careful and conscientious work on my mothers Bible, and in addition, words like integrity, class, kindness come to mind on the way he does his business and dealt with me as a client. If you care for your books and want to deal with a genuinely outstanding person who is gifted in his work and who will value your worn books or Bibles, please contact Preston at his business and you too will want to spread the word.

Wonderful experience! Both professional and friendly. The books look wonderful and for a very fair price. Will definitely be coming back!

Preston understood the significance of my dads old Bible. In my eyes it seemed beyond repair, but Preston turned it into a beautiful heirloom. My brother loves it!

Preston is GIFTED and his work is AMAZING! And, what a gentleman to do business with. Thank you Preston for restoring a treasured Bible for me.

Preston is a very talented, actually magical bookbinder. He took a book that had been mangled by my puppy and restored it such that I cannot figure out how he actually achieved this.

Before and after wonderful work. Well done!
