We’re glad to have RBC regular Sophia Bogle back for a visit. She’s a passionate book restorer and she shares with co-host Ed Markiewicz and Lee Linn a current project to prepare two volumes of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) by L. Frank Baum. And, of course, there"s valuable information for those who would repair their own books.
Sophia created Save Your Books, and she’s on a mission to help provide essential information for proper steps for book repair.
From her website: Save Your Books is “an educational platform that promotes simple archival book repairs from a conservation perspective.” There are numerous videos designed to help those who would endeavor to repair their books.
Sophia also has a book available titled Book Restoration Unveiled, which you can order here: Book Restoration Unveiled
There's also a brief preview of our new free quarterly for collectors, Book Lovers' Paradise Magazine,
