Repair cafe book

4 steloj

Reasonable #read. Fun to read the history of #RepairCafe, plus short portraits of volunteers and repair cafes in various places.

The preoccupation with the Repair Café brand name is somewhat tiresome. As is the preoccupation with bringing in money and asking for money for materials. Possibly I am an incorrigible romantic who does not see that this is necessary to make a project like this successful.

Recently, while in the process of reading this book, I visited a Repair Café at our library. Interesting and fun to experience, although communicatively not always easy. Almost only electrical appliances offered for repair, although I was told it doffers per week.

Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance (Paperback, 2016, VeloPress) 5 steloj

By far the best #cycling -related book I ever bought. Time and again I go through it when something needs fixing. It has bookmarks and notes throughout, after all these years; component codes of bike parts from my bikes scribbled in the book's diagrams; grease stains on frequently consulted pages.

Adding it after all this time because it was on my table after using it yesterday.
