The Repair Shop: LIFE IN THE BARN: The Inside Stories from the Experts

I love all of it. The bookmark is a novelty - you rarely see that these days. There’s loads of photographs, and each crafter gets the chance to tell you their attitude to crafting (Steve Fletcher is a third-generation clock repairer and maker for instance, and his son Fred is becoming the fourth generation!) and you get details on their favourite repairs.

This was a present for my wife’s birthday, she loves the series, as do I, she couldn’t wait to read it and it met all expectations, so intimate to share in some of the personal stories of these talented people and how they started out. A brilliant read and a lifetime keepsake.

I bought this for my sister who loves to watch the repair shop and so I thought this would be ideal for her to read about the repairers and their work. Very nice to have a hardback at such a good price - she is thrilled with it.

We have been watching The Repair Shop since it began years ago. This book highlights the wonderful artisans there - their life stories as well as the items they work on. A delight - as is the programme - our favourite on an otherwise fairly bleak or inane listings. Well done to the fabulous team - long may they continue to delight the people who take in their less than perfect treasures - can't watch without a tear or two, as was the case reading about them all. Well done!

I had a flick through as it is a Christmas present, seems really 👍 I hope they like it.

The book is well written, well illustrated and very informative. Very pleased with it.

Good read, classy pictures. Very enjoyable.
