The bookstore in the manure tank

It's amazing, really, how many great stories are tucked in the back roads of the Upper Midwest.

What would lead a couple to turn 12 buildings on the farm in Wisconsin into "the world's largest bookstore"?

So it's a good time to repeat my call for those of you who know stories like this, to let me know.

Where specifically is this bookstore?

It's in Princeton, just this side of Oshkosh and Fond du Lac. I've got to try to get there when I head to AirVenture this July. Seems like a cool, cool place.

Looking at the map it looks like County road K is more to the west of Montello (which is west of Princeton on State Rd 23). At least I think this is the road that the reporter said it was on.
