Robin Ince kicked off his UK Bibliomaniac tour in Okehampton on 27th September

Outside it may have been icy rain, but what a warm, entertaining afternoon inside Fairplace Church, listening to polymath comedian Robin Ince’s talk about Bibliomaniac and his love of books.

If you missed it, signed copies of Bibliomaniac: An Obsessive’s Tour of the Bookshops of Britain are available from the bookshop (and we’re in it!) A huge thank you to Robin for fitting in this spirit-lifting event for us between Horizons shows with Prof Brian Cox in Plymouth & Wembley Arena… come back soon!

‘This is one of the most delightful books I have ever read. My mind expanded, many times I laughed out loud on the plane, and I was thoroughly delighted with the travelling companionship of this extraordinary hunter gatherer. Chapeau!’

Eric Idle (who chose Robin Ince to accompany his 10 hour flight to LA)
