In store now! The Importance of Being Interested, by Robin Ince

Ahead of our exciting event with the author on the 6th of November, comedian Robin Ince’s new book is available to purchase! Told with his trademark wit, and unquenchable curiosity, The Importance of Being Interested argues that the world of science and learning shouldn’t be limited to musty professors in dimly lit libraries. Instead, Ince argues for the value of learning for its own sake, for the importance of keeping our minds and hearts open. From the stars above us to the systems which surround us, Ince makes a profound and hilarious case for each of us to get out there, on our own intellectual journey of self-discovery!

Comedian Robin Ince quickly abandoned science at school, bored by a fog of dull lessons and intimidated by the barrage of equations. But, twenty years later, he fell in love and he now presents one of the world's most popular science podcasts.

We are open:

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
