Welcome

Kay Books is an online bookshop, predominantly selling books published by Richard Kay Publications but gradually taking on selected titles from other small independent publishers. These titles are all non-fiction (or 'faction' – real stories of peoples lives – as they remember them). Fiction is not knowingly published except as a vehicle for dialect and virtually all the books have some connection with Lincolnshire - in a very few cases merely the author’s residence.

SPECIAL PROMOTION
Monumental Brasses by Jeremy Wheeldon.
I will contribute 50p ($1.00) to the American Friends of the Boston Stump (AFBS) for anyone purchasing a copy of this before 31st July 2008. If you would like to know more about AFBS please follow the link to their website http://bostonstump.googlepages.com/givingopportunities
which can also be found on my 'links' page.

NEW TITLE BY ANOTHER PUBLISHER
I am pleased to promote this book, the first on this site, by another publisher. It is both written and published by BS Barnes. This volume of first hand accounts and contemporary photographs paints an all too vivid picture of this Tunisian killing ground.

Delaney – The Cat Burglar Pamela Southworth £5.00
Monumental Brasses Jeremy Wheeldon £2.95

Most titles are historical (local and national), biographical ('Life in Lincolnshire' and 'Vernacular History Series'), or dialect (both academic and oral tradition). There are some 'contemporary issues' and a few miscellaneous titles. In total Richard Kay has now published in excess of 70 titles though inevitably some of these are no longer available.

The books range from the light-hearted and humorous Fungus the Lincolnshire Cat to the massive and momentous Transcription of Minutes of the Corporation of Boston presently from 1545 - 1781 (Vol. VI published in June 2001). These Transcripts are nominally published by The History of Boston Project but are distributed by us. Please contact me for further information about these or any titles on this site.
