Review
“Amid wonderful illustrations and photographs, Jerry Apps has added beautiful prose about barns and the people who built and used them. This updated "Barns of Wisconsin" is a real treasure and presents a wonderful historical perspective on a state icon.”—Larry Meiller, Wisconsin Public Radio
“More than a book about barns, Apps offers us a unique lens through which to view the rich textures and constant changes in Wisconsin rural life. "Barns of Wisconsin" is as lovingly crafted as the iconic structures that are its subject. This new edition helped me discover more about my own barns and more fully imagine the lives of those who built them.”—Dena Wortzel, Executive Director, Wisconsin Humanities Council
“Jerry Apps’ new edition of "Barns of Wisconsin" is outstanding! In this new book Jerry systematically examines many aspects of barns—from their origins to their adaptations for continuing use. His approach will be interesting and informative to the barn owner, the history buff and the preservationist. The inclusion of abundant color photographs to back up the text makes the book doubly interesting. "Barns of Wisconsin" will also be a useful reference for preservation groups all over North America and a model for future publications. I’m glad I have a copy.”—Bill Kimball, professor emeritus, Michigan State University, and active member of the Michigan Barn Preservation Network and the National Barn Alliance
"“Jerry Apps brings these old barns back to life and keeps them breathing by telling their stories. They are all unique representations of the many different heritages that were brought to Wisconsin, such as the German designed stone barn in the Town of Chase. Jerry gives these old barns a voice and takes you back in time to experience the hardships and joys of life on the farm as if you were there.”"—"Christopher Jaworski and Kristin Kolkowski, Chase Stone Barn Committee"
“In "Barns of Wisconsin", Jerry Apps has given a voice to rural Wisconsin's architectural elders and the stories they have to tell—stories well worth remembering."—Doug Miller, Executive Director, Folklore Village
“Nothing tells more about a farm than its barn. It reflects a heritage, values, and its dreams. Jerry Apps has captured their stories and need to preserve them.”—Dr. Clarence C. Olson, Emeritus Professor, University of Wisconsin Dairy Science
2011 Silver in the Great Lakes Best Regional Nonfiction Category from the Independent Publisher Book Awards
"The "Places along the Way" book series, of which this book is a part, represents a renaissance in writing about Wisconsin; written to encourage tourism, these books celebrate Wisconsin's history and culture. In addition to the plethora (140) of vivid color photos, Apps has provided a map of Wisconsin barns for readers making the scenic driving tour." (Korina Cornish, "ForeWord Reviews")

Store description
Inklings is a small used bookstore in Bedford, Indiana founded and run by public school teachers. Our brick and mortar store opened in 2012 and we are just now getting into online sales. While we want to maintain a presence in our local community, it is becoming apparent that we are going to have to branch out in order to stay viable. We want to offer our customers hard-to-find books at great prices. If you ever have any troubles, please call us or email and we will do everything we can to make sure you are satisfied. We are open Wednesday through Saturday each and every week from 12p, to 7pm, so please plan your calls accordingly. We want to thank you for your business and your trust in us. We hope you'll come back and look often as we plan on adding books just about everyday for as long as we can.…
