Gardners Bibliomaniac: An Obsessive’s Tour Of The Bookshops Of Britain

In Autumn 2021, the pandemic caused the postponement of Robin Ince’s stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox. Rather than stay at home, 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 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.
