Bill Geist visits a Bookstore made from a Manure Tank

CBS Sunday Morning's offbeat correspondent Bill Geist visits a very unusual bookstore near Princeton, Wisconsin. Lenore Lloyd Dickmans' bookstore is set on a farm, and the books take up 12 buildings, one of which was built from a slurry tank that once brimmed with cow manure. They are voracious book-collectors, and my family has sold books to them before at the Princeton Flea Market in central Wisconsin.

We were just up there two days ago and visited the book-farm. It was trully amazing. The farm looked safe and sound.

What a great story. This is what "true love" is all about. Making sacrifices for one another, unconditional love. Thank you for sharing this wonderful couple with the world!

Their farm is OK, folks. Lloyd's new car did get totalled from the flood waters, but all else is OK. He was buying books from my mom as usual this past weekend. (Thanks, Lloyd!)

Anybody know if the Dickmanns got through the recent flooding in Wisconsin?

What an incredible place to visit! This story reminds me of the fellow that mowed down his crop to build a baseball field! "If you build it, they will come!" I hope to get there soon!

What strikes me is how unique and happy their lifestyle is. The best way to be happy is to not feel like you have to live where and how everyone else lives. American society is rich/diverse/sophisticated enough so that we all don't have to be living in little boxes on the hilltop made of ticky-tack all looking just the same.
