Joseph-Beth Booksellers is a Lexington institution that combines the vast selection of a large bookstore with the personal touch and community engagement of an independent. Since 1986, the store has been the Bluegrass region's premier literary destination, with a comprehensive inventory spanning every genre and subject area. The in-house restaurant makes it possible to spend an entire afternoon or evening immersed in books and good food, and the dedicated event space hosts a constant stream of major touring authors. The Kentucky literature section is extensive, and the children's department is one of the largest and best-curated in the state.
