Meet Me At The Bookstore: "Black Swan Books"
Lexington, Kentucky
A fun bookstore in the “Horse Capital of the World.” This is a wonderful independent bookstore filled with gently used and rare antiquarian books of all types. There is a surprise around every corner in here!
Look at this rare children’s book from the early 20th Century!
Black Swan prides itself in covering a vast array of genres in their bookshelf titles. Including Kentuckiana….

This is author Kevin Lane Dearinger who stopped by for a talk and book signing of his latest “Bad Sex in Kentucky”…
The bookstore holds many public events and even some special occasions. How about hosting a bachelorette party for a bunch of book loving ladies! See below!
Congratulations to proprietor Mike Courtney (below, red sweater) who has shepherded this fine independent used and rare books business along for more than 40 years. CLICK HERE to watch a video tour of the bookstore.
And what is Mike’s oldest book he has? Can you say “from the 1600s!”
