Bibliomaniac: An Obsessive's Tour of the Bookshops of Britain | Robin Ince

Also a Christmas book - this is the book I wish I could've written! Oh well, I can still emulate the research!

20/23 This book spoke to my heart. What I wouldn‘t give to be allowed to spend my times touring bookshops! It was a love letter to bookshops, book people, and books. I listened to this one which was great because it was narrated by the author but I do wonder if the physical book has a list of bookshops/ mentioned books at the back? Does anyone know? Photo from the garden of one of my fave bookshops in Alfriston.

squirrelbrain Love the bench! I just checked my copy and it‘s more of an index of shops rather than a full list of addresses. There‘s also an index of all the books he mentions. I don‘t have access to a photocopier or scanner, but I could take pics and email them to you, if you‘d like? Just let me know! 2y

Magpiegem @squirrelbrain yes please! That would be amazing! My email address is gemmasmith_sm@hotmail.com thank you 😊 xx 2y

squirrelbrain I‘ll try and do that today for you…. 😁 2y

Magpiegem @squirrelbrain no rush at all, thank you so much. That‘s really kind of you 😊 2y

This was a fun read to dip in and out of, although it got a bit samey in places.

The author decided to promote his previous book by visiting 100 bookshops across Britain, just after bookshops re-opened after forced pandemic closures. Along the way he unearths unusual, mainly non-fiction, books in charity shops to use as prompts in his book talks.

This was my last book for #nonfictionnovember

LeeRHarry I saw Robin Ince last month when he was out here with Prof Brian Cox 💕 😏 - he was promoting this book then - sounded interesting, one to go back to when looking for new bookshops to visit 😊 2y

squirrelbrain Oh, that was the arena tour he was supposed to be doing in the UK, instead of this @LeeRHarry - they decided they couldn‘t risk big arenas so he did little bookshops instead! 2y
