A third book from the BBC’s Top Rated Hit The Repair Shop

In today’s throwaway culture， there’s a counter movement growing that urges us to "make do and mend"。 The Repair Shop has brought this waste-conscious message to an even wider audience， cementing itself as a BBC classic of the likes of Antiques Roadshow。

The third book concentrates on the show’s much-loved experts， including woodworker and furniture restorer Will Kirk， clockmaker and mechanical wizard Steve Fletcher， silversmith Brenton West， saddler/leatherworker Suzie Fletcher， upholsterer Sonnaz， and seamstresses Julie Tatchell & Amanda Middleditch – aka The Teddy Bear Ladies， with each sharing why they love their craft， followed by a narrative on two specific objects and their restoration journeys。 These narratives  capture the ethos of the programme by being almost Aesop’s Fables-esque – e。g。 The Woodworker and the Broken Toy Chest – with quotes from the recipients of restored objects dotted around。 

With the focus on the artisans themselves， readers will feel as though they’re stepping straight into the ‘workshop of dreams’。
