April 18 2024 would've be Nigel Ince's 94th birthday. Instead it marks the one year anniversary of Robin's Dad's funeral so in this episode of Bibliomaniac, we take a look at the life, and lifelong obsession with books, of Robin's Dad Nigel. It is pretty clear to see where Robin gets his love of books from. In this film Robin trawls through his Dad's mass collection, performs a special gig in his hometown and and also shows a dirty magazine in a church at the funeral...

18 April 2024 marked seven years since my Dad passed away so I didn't feel I could watch this last night but I thoroughly enjoyed such a wonderfully loving tribute earlier today. Well done and very many thanks to everyone involved. I've just taken my own father's copy of "The Henry Williamson Animal Saga" from the bookshelf and will read it again, not just in his memory but also thinking of Robin and his Dad too.

I was so jealous of you interviewing David Attenborough....😊

A wonderful tribute to your father, and a life lived so well. A bit there reminded me of my own dad, when you said you would call him about a book you thought he might like, as much an excuse to talk, my own dad was very different, he was a drinker and heavy smoker, a bit of a rogue, he would call me from his local pub (where he had his own seat and glass behind the bar) to ask about the latest “cheap goods’ he had been offered and see if I wanted anything.. but it was just an excuse to say hi and have a chat, he had disappeared from our lives for a while and I think he was trying to make up time.

Thank you for sharing Robin, you once again show us the power of books aka love. My father didn't read much but made sure I did.

Out of Africa, what a fabulous book. One of my favourite opening lines of a novel. Thanks for sharing x

Trent shares with Robin the inability to walk past a second hand bookshop without going in and buying *something*. "Something?". Ha ha. I love that. By something, you mean a carrier bag full.

@cosmicshambles Ай бұрын

You are kind to suggest it is just one carrier bag full...

Loved this and it's one of the fears I have that following my own death, hopefully many years away, that nobody will have any idea what to do with my thousands of books, I'm so sorry for your loss he sounds like an amazing person. By the 'way the bookmark' you showed from the Penguin Tarka the Otter is actually all that remains from the left hand side of the dust wrapper.

David I was recently at the celebration of someone's life. They had the benefit of knowing their time was short so they got their house in order, figuratively and literally. We all know our time here is temporary; you can start making plans now, on *your* terms.

I got my love of books from my dad too. The one bright spot in a very difficult broken relationship. The love and warmth of this is just so life affirming. As is the (well founded) trust in Trent to make all those memories and books into a really wonderful programme. I always look forward to a new episode of Bibliomaniac

A lovely tribute. I can only hope I leave behind such a difficult house to clear out 😂

An enchanting, heartfelt and humorous insight into your Dad's personality, his true love for family and passion for books. I will watch it again, and I will play it to my parents...in their home full of collections and things!!!
