We have been selling books online since the late 1990's, and are based out of Boise, Idaho. And to be honest, the "we" is actually just "me" - Travis Cossel, sole proprietor. But I figure that since I do all of the purchasing, selling, packing, shipping, web-site development, miscellaneous & sundry clerical activities, and everything else, well... the first-person plural "we" seems appropriate! The Cossel Books website is designed in such a way as to try and provide an easy shopping experience; hopefully you've found that this is the case. Although Cossel Books does not exist as a "bricks and mortar" store anywhere and only has an on-line storefront, that doesn't mean we are not a "real" bookstore. Our inventory contains thousands of fine second-hand books that are stored in a warehousing facility, and additional books are aquired all the time. The books are graded and catalogued, often including a digital scan of the cover, before being listed online in the store's inventory. But because we are on online store, there are many, many resources available to use which can be used to make your shopping experience even better. First and foremost, as an Amazon.com Web Services (AWS) Developer, we have utilized the AWS API to extend the "range" of your searching and browsing from our site. This enables us to automatically help you find the books you are looking for even if we don't currently have a copy in our stock. Additionally, Cossel Books is a member of the Biblio.com community of booksellers. So in addition to providing access to all of Amazon.com's inventory, we can also help you to search through the inventory of Biblio.com's thousands of booksellers in order to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Finding BooksThere are a couple of ways to find books on our site. The first is by simply browsing. Our browse page allows browsing of all of our titles from broad general groups all the way down to specific sub-topics. These are items that have been catalogued and indexed into our inventory. The books displayed via the browse-pages are shown in the order of newest arrivals first, continuing on into the older items in our stock. The other way to find books on our site is by searching through our search-form. When processing your search, we first look through our on-hand inventory of books. In the event that we do not have a copy of the book you are searching for, we may also do a quick search of Amazon.com's inventory and display these books for your review.
