Looking for a book, she bought a bookstore

BAYFIELD – Washburn author Julie Buckles recently took a poetry-inspired journey to Bayfield in search of a book. She ended up with a few thousand books instead after that trip led to the purchase of the iconic What Goes ‘Round used book store, now rechristened Honest Dog Books.

Buckles had been painting her son’s room, listening to a podcast featuring the work of poet laureate Tracy K. Smith, and was so moved she put down her brushes and headed to Bayfield in search a Smith collection. She didn’t find the book of poetry she was looking for, but as she was leaving the store, store employee and local author Howard Paap mentioned that the store may be for sale. For full story.
