The Origins of a Bibliomaniac | Bibliomaniac with Robin Ince | Episode 3 #books #documentary
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...

    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

    I called his office at CalTech 5 minutes after he left for the last time. His secretary was so kind to to me and told me how disappointed that he would be to have missed my call. I was on leave from the military and had been studying THE RED BOOKS for 3 years straight, he was my hero. When I got a Caltech t shirt from his office, I knew just how kind his secretary was to me. I went on to study and teach physics, though I was never able to get my PhD, I did inspire a number of my student to go on to get advanced degrees and that was my proudest achievement in teaching. I still have that Caltech t-shirt from 1988, how astounding is that? I still have my RED BOOKS TOO and I eventually got to teach students across the country. Feynman inspired me to do that. Now, I'm teaching physics to my wife and grandson! That's all thanks to Dick Feynman!👍😎❤️

    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.

    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.
