Hardback: Why play to 12,000 people when you can play to 12?
In Autumn 2021, Robin Ince’s stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox was postponed due to the pandemic.
Rather than do nothing, he decided instead to go on a tour of over a hundred bookshops in the UK, from Wigtown to Penzance; from Swansea to Margate.
Packed with witty anecdotes and tall tales, Bibliomaniac: An Obsessive's Tour Of The Bookshops Of Britain (2022) takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books – and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them. It is the story of an addiction and a romance, and also of an occasional points failure just outside Oxenholme.
Bibliomaniac: An Obsessive's Tour Of The Bookshops Of Britain is now available in all bookshops and online selling platforms.
