***A Waterstones Best Books of 2022 pick*** 'A unique, funny
picture of Britain... A love letter to bookshops and the vagaries
of public transport.' Richard Osman 'Ince's love of books is
infectious.' 'Books of the Year', Independent 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 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.
