The recent article “Repair Cafe are Popping up Across the Philly Suburbs” in the Main Line Today credits the book “Repair Revolution” as the inspiration for this growth in cafes in the Philadelphia area. Repair Revolution was written by RCHV founder John Wackman and former Warwick Repair Cafe founder (now with the Jersey City Repair Cafe) Elizabeth Knight Moss and is considered the ‘bible’ of the repair movement. Bob Berkowitz, founder of the Downingwood Repair Cafe mentioned in the article, was also formerly an active fixer at the Warwick Repair Cafe.
