Franciscan Books

Many of the books in this list are difficult to find through ordinary bookstores. If you can't find them locally, or they are out of print, you may be able to find them at "The St. Francis Bookstore," located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1950 by the Franciscan Friars of the Province of St. John the Baptist, they have a website where you can search their inventory at: http://www.stfrancisonline.com

You can also often find less-known and out-of-print books through Amazon.com, on eBay or at Bookfinder.
