Welcome to Poor Richard's Books, across from the state's beautiful Old Capitol, home of thousands
of books selected under the watchful eyes of Richard &
Lizz Taylor and a proud independent bookseller.
Richard is a former Poet Laureate of
Kentucky and professor of English & Humanities at
Kentucky State
University.
Lizz mans the floor, as well as serves with Downtown
Frankfort, the local Main Street Program.
Poor Richard's specializes in Kentucky titles, and also
has an attic full of bibliophilic treasures awaiting their
rightful home.
You can listen to Kentucky music, savor one of our
tempting scones and ease into your reprieve from the
hectic world with an iced or hot latte.
We have been supporting reading and community in Frankfort
for over 30 years. You are sure to find what you
need to complete your Kentucky collection.

Try reading some of these titles:
Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin
House of Abraham by Stephen Berry
