"You’ll never find us and we’re rarely open."


Lloyd and Lenore Dickman are booksellers with perhaps one million books. But they don’t advertise, don’t keep regular hours, and are located on a farm in rural Wisconsin. Oh, and one of their twelve (!?) buildings-full-of-books is in a former manure tank remodeled to look like a castle. Bill Geist recently profiled this charming and wildly-endearing couple for CBS.

Now, I have to go check plane fares to Wisconsin…

UPDATE (5/23/08): Recently came across the store’s exact contact info/location: County Road K in Markesan, WI. 920-398-3375.
