Kay Books was originally a small family-run High Street bookshop in Boston, Lincolnshire, UK. Dr and Mrs Allday (my parents) ran this business from 1975-83. I worked in it along with a brother and a sister among other staff. After the business was bought out by a local department store the name 'Kay Books' disappeared. My father (under the name of Richard Kay Publications) however continues to publish and has brought a great deal of history that may otherwise have been lost, to the public. Each book has some connection to Lincolnshire though in one or two instances this is a little tenuous.
In November 2007 I launched Kay Books as an online bookshop, initially to sell Richard Kay's publications, in the worldwide market. I have gradually found and introduced more titles from other publishers who I feel offer books of a similar nature and am pleased to say we now carry well over 220 titles, with more being added frequently.
