Sophia Bogle is a book
restorer who has taken a new direction in her
career. She has just written a book called
Book Restoration Unveiled, which is part of her desire to make book
restoration accessible to everyone.
Sophia has more than
25 years of
hands-on experience restoring books, but was prompted to
begin sharing her skills and
knowledge after
suffering an injury. Our podcast interview sheds light on
Sophia’s clientele, her materials and
tools, the
beautiful and
valuable books she has
restored, the most common
repair requests, and the
peculiar terminology of the industry.
Book Restoration Unveiled explains book
restoration through case
studies, illustrations, and interviews with clients and
people in the industry.
Sophia – who lives and works in
Ashland, Oregon – explains why things are done in a certain way, and offers lots of context and
background.

You can also find her on
YouTube where her Save Your Books channel offers interesting videos where you can see Sophia at work, restoring books in her studio. Her website also hosts numerous
online courses and more useful information.
Book Restoration Unveiled is also
available through Sophia’s website and she is offering a

Bookshelves podcast. Use BTB in her
