A Kentucky Treasure On BroadwayPoor Richard’s Books is the kind of bookstore that makes you slow down the moment you step inside. The Kentucky History Section That Will Blow Your MindFew bookstores in the state can match what Poor Richard’s has assembled in its Kentucky history section. Out-of-print Kentucky titles occasionally appear in the used section, and that is when things get exciting. Poor Richard’s takes this seriously and stocks a strong selection of both classic and contemporary Kentucky literary voices.
