Come in, Kick Back, and Relax!

Welcome to the reading room - the place our store where you can take a break from browsing the stacks. We've tried to put together a collection of content from which you might find something of interest, and hopefully learn something new.

Featured Authors

Everyone has their favorite authors, and Cossel Books is no exception. Every month (or so) we try to add a new author profile to our Featured Authors section. These aren't little 1 or 2 paragraph bios. Instead, we've tried to write a fairly detailed article for each author. We pick contemporary authors to profile as well as authors from earlier years. If anyone has a suggestion for an author to profile, feel free to send us a note.

Henryk Sienkiewicz

He's best known for his historical novels, including Quo Vadis which is set during the Roman Empire, and the triology With Fire and Sword, The Deluge, and Fire in the Steppe, set in the mid-17th century during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Propietor's Collection

Cossel Books wouldn't be in business if books weren't an integral part of my life. This area of the website gives me a place to show off some of the books in my own private collection. These are books that sit on my shelves at home, and that I see everyday. They are important to me, and I can't help but to share them with you thinking that perhaps they'll make an impact in your life as well. Of course, it also gives me a chance to simply brag about a book that I've managed to come across, knowing that it may generate a touch of envy in some other bibliophile out there!
