Dean is one of the unsung heroes of the programme. Such an unassuming chap, but his skills are incredible and he always seems like he genuinely cares about what he’s doing. #therepairshop

📕 Chris Shaw, the talented bookbinder from @TheRepairShop, shares an amazing story of a project featured on tonight's episode, reinvigorating a notebook from World War II. He tells us what a huge task it was and explains how to give our old books new life...
