THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
I chose the name Just Terrific as an ode to my grandmother. She would exclaim, “this is just terrific!” after she saw anything I created and encouraged me to start my own business.
From first editions to family bibles, I fix all types of broken books. Using traditional techniques and materials, I repair books that are need of tender loving care.
Have a question? Need a book repaired? Drop me a note, and I’ll write you back as soon as I can.
PRAISE FROM MY CLIENTS
MINIATURE BOOK JEWELRY
Rachael creates beautiful jewelry and her unique little leather-bound book necklaces made my daughter squeal with delight. I couldn’t resist getting one for myself as well!
BOOK REPAIRS Rachael was an absolute joy to work with. Worried my beloved book was beyond repair, Rachael worked with my individual needs and kindly helped me personalize the new cover. She cared for my book as if it was her own. She takes great pride and brings high integrity to her work. I LOVE the final product and could not be more happy with the work Rachael has done.
CUSTOM BOOKBINDING Working with Rachael was so easy and convenient! I am so happy we can keep our memories in such a beautiful book.
