Welcome to Kay Books

Kay Books is an online bookshop.  It was launched in November 2007 to sell books published by Richard Kay Publications.  The site took off really well and since May 2008 we have been adding a variety of other local, independent, publishers' titles.  We now stock 224 titles including; Heritage Lincolnshire, Society of Lincolnshire History and Archaeology, Barny Books, Countryside Books, Sentinel Press, Richard Kay Publications and Paul Mould to name but a few.  Our books 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 and I am pleased to announce we have just taken added two DVDs of Lincolnshire as it used to be, with a narrative by Alan Stennett (of 'Lost Railways of Lincolnshire' and 'Nobbut a Yellerbelly' fame) and one about Sylvia Pankhurst (Emmeline's daughter).  There is now a CD too; of Tennyson Poems, read by Edward Campion and Edith Burgess.


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-Lovers' Year book) available along with several maps of Boston and the Wash dating back to 1693.  We also carry the Transcriptions of the Minutes of the Corporation of Boston in six volumes from 1545 right through to 1781 - please enquire for further details as these retail at over £100 per copy.

 

If there is a Lincolnshire title you are looking for and you can not find it here - please ask via the contact page and I will always respond.
