I searched for a bookbinding company to make a book for my son, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan in the USMC. I had his letters and pictures of his platoons from his days at Parris Island through OCS, Ramadi and Helmand Province--and a Bronze Star (V). I am so fortunate we found Gail and Denver Bookbinding. Gail guided me through the process, selecting the cover material, the alignment and then produced 4 copies of the book at an incredibly fair price. My son, his sister and mother each received a copy--they are lifetime heirlooms. My son said: "Now my children will know what I did in the Corps and my relationship with my dad." We all thank Gail and her team.

In 2008 we ordered numerous family tree books to be bound....this company was wonderful to work with and our books were done at time they said they would be. Very impressed with their work!

Very friendly staff. This place has done an excellent job in preserving my professional journals for many years.

Great staff and an incredible product! We visited on pi day (March 14th) and as we walkef in the door were quickly offered wonderful choices of delicious pies. From there they passionately answered our questions and got us the materials we needed. Thanks Denver Book Binding!

Denver Bookbinding and the Second Story Event Space is a great place to hold an event at. I had my baby shower there and felt nothing but welcomed onto their property. There is plenty of parking and it is very open and spacious. I even had Denver Bookbindings employees help me with setting up the tables and chairs. I would highly reccomend this event center to all my friends and family.

4worldlovers: Featured items that Linda M. Lebsack Books plans to bring to RMBPF 2015.

A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus. Washington Irving. London: John Murray, MDCCCXXVIII (1828).

4 vols., 473 & 490 & 413 & 489 p. Two large folding maps in Vol. I are complete and have no tears, losses or other damage but have some foxing. Bound in old leather with gilt titles and decoration on spines. Marbled endpapers. Page edges speckled. Foxing on preliminary and final blanks but not in text. The first London issue, the same year as New York. Tightly bound but covers could use some polish. So tightly bound I suspect it was never read. Bookseller Fred Rosenstock's pencil note "Early Edition. Very Scarce. 4 vols." on preliminary blank of Vol. l. Maps titled: Chart Shewing (sic) the Tracks Across the North Atlantic Ocean of Don Christopher Columbus. Chart of the West Indies With the adjacent Coast of South America showing the tracks of Don Christopher Columbus.

Brains and Money vs. Resources Illustrated and embellished with views of one of the most resourceful yet undeveloped sections of the Rocky Mountain region ........ Isaac Van Horn. Self-published by Isaac Van Horn & Co. Bankers - Boston and Laramie.

Quarto cloth with gilt titles. Probably 1901,140 p. Very good with no marks except ink name "James H. Crawford" who was a prominent rancher and settler in northwest Colorado. Apparently a promotional book for mining and other investment ventures in northwest Colorado and into Laramie, Wyoming. Excellent photos, map, a contract for investing. Roll the dice in the Laramie, Hahns Peak & Pacific Railway. Or smelting, lumber, power & irrigation, copper, town company, bank, hotel even publishing. Yes, there was some railroad building and mining but this fell to the side of a scam. The New York Times reported in 1913 that Mr. Van Horn petitioned for bankruptcy in Concord, NH, with assets of $100 and liabilities exceeding $778,000. Fascinating.

Three books: Californios, Trail Dust and Saddle Leather, Jo Mora Renaissance Man of the West. Jo Mora & Stephen Mitchell. Ketchum, ID, Stocklein Publishing, 1994.

As new grouping in pictorial black slipcase. Fine 1994 reproductions of Californios (original 1946) and Trail Dust and Saddle Leather (1949) with vivid jackets . Stephen Mitchell's biography of Mora (Renaissance Man), stapled wraps, 37 p., contains biography, his career and list of works. In dry storage since publication. Illustration is the endpapers of Trail Dust.

Fred Kabotie: Hopi Indian Artist. Bill Belknap. Flagstaff, Northland Press, 1977. ISBN: 0873581644

Horizontal quarto, 149 p., dustjacket. Fine first ed. Endpaper maps, color illustrations of art and photos of Kabotie among his people. Warmly inscribed to publisher Gilbert Campbell, who had published a cute booklet by Kabotie. Laid in loose is a card from the Kabotie family to Campbell (also now deceased) dated March 10, 1986, announcing that the artist had "unfolded his bluebird wings on February 28th and departed with the Priestly Clouds to the Hopi Underworld." A beautiful tribute to all the parties involved.
