Welcome to Kay Books

Kay Books is an online bookshop launched in November 2007 to sell books published by Richard Kay Publications however since May 2008 we have added a variety of other local, independent, publishers' titles to the site and now stock around 160 titles. Our titles are typically historical (local, national, international and military), biographical ('Life in Lincolnshire' and 'Vernacular History Series'), or dialect (both academic and oral tradition). We also now stock some archaeological papers including a detailed study of Lincoln Castle before and after 1068.

All our titles are all non-fiction (or 'faction' – real stories of people's lives – as they remember them). There is no fiction on this site except when used as a vehicle for dialect though we do now carry some titles of legends and folklore.  I believe all our books have some connection with Lincolnshire - though in a very few cases merely the author’s residence. There are also three historical maps published individually (suitable for framing) and a series of prints (taken from the Nature-Lover's Year book) available along with several maps of Boston and the wash dating back to 1693.
