- Bookcraftsman - Don and Joan Morrill are custom bookcrafters, specializing in family bibles. Bookcraftsman did a great job restoring the bible of my great great grandmother, Sophia Kaylor Keehne. Published in 1850 the book had fallen into disrepair, its spine gone, covers off, pages torn - it is wonderful to hold the bible now, fully restored and intact, as my ancestors once held it.
