Reviews
Praise for A Novel Bookstore "Reader manifestos, tricksy narration, a dash of mystery, somewhat surreal plotting - Cossé stacks her novel full of the delights of sophisticated writing."-- The Guardian "Eminently readable, it is a love letter to the novel (literature junkies will find within its pages a seemingly endless supply of book suggestions) and a profound exploration of human nature."-- Library Journal "Cossé poignantly depicts characters who have turned to literature for solace against the pain in their lives."-- Publishers Weekly "Marvelous and stimulating."-- San Francisco Chronicle "Ivan has a passion for books, but only 'good' books. Francesca shares his book lust. Together they open a remarkable bookstore in Paris, a store with only 'good' books, a place for readers who love the written word. Initial success is followed by fear and heartbreak as their shop comes under attack. Who is trying to kill the bookstore? This is a treasure for all of us who love books."--Deon Stonehouse, Sunriver Books & Music, Praise for A Novel Bookstore "Marvelous and stimulating." -- The San Francisco Chronicle "A hymn to fine literature." -- Le Figaro " A Novel Bookstore is...a declaration of love for the art of the novel and its effects on human history." -- La Croix "Coss poignantly depicts characters who have turned to literature for solace against the pain in their lives." -- Publisher's Weekly "An Agatha Christie-style mystery bolstered by a love story worthy of Madame de la Fayette...Laurence Coss excels in deconstructing the world of books." -- Madame Figaro "A deeply satisfying manifesto of book love and a sharp indictment of those who would use such love for their own evil purposes." -- The Huffington Post "Eminently readable, it is a love letter to the novel...and a profound exploration of human nature." --Library Journal, Praise for A Novel Bookstore "Marvelous and stimulating." -- The San Francisco Chronicle "A hymn to fine literature." -- Le Figaro " A Novel Bookstore is...a declaration of love for the art of the novel and its effects on human history." -- La Croix "Coss poignantly depicts characters who have turned to literature for solace against the pain in their lives." -- Publisher's Weekly "An Agatha Christie-style mystery bolstered by a love story worthy of Madame de la Fayette...Laurence Coss excels in deconstructing the world of books." -- Madame Figaro "A deeply satisfying manifesto of book love and a sharp indictment of those who would use such love for their own evil purposes." -- The Huffington Post "Eminently readable, it is a love letter to the novel...and a profound exploration of human nature." --Library Journal , Praise for A Novel Bookstore "Marvelous and stimulating." -- The San Francisco Chronicle "A hymn to fine literature." -- Le Figaro " A Novel Bookstore is...a declaration of love for the art of the novel and its effects on human history." -- La Croix "Cossé poignantly depicts characters who have turned to literature for solace against the pain in their lives." -- Publisher's Weekly "An Agatha Christie-style mystery bolstered by a love story worthy of Madame de la Fayette...Laurence Cossé excels in deconstructing the world of books." -- Madame Figaro "A deeply satisfying manifesto of book love and a sharp indictment of those who would use such love for their own evil purposes." -- The Huffington Post "Eminently readable, it is a love letter to the novel...and a profound exploration of human nature." --Library Journal, Praise for A Novel Bookstore "Marvelous and stimulating."-- The San Francisco Chronicle "A hymn to fine literature."-- Le Figaro " A Novel Bookstore is...a declaration of love for the art of the novel and its effects on human history."-- La Croix "Cossé poignantly depicts characters who have turned to literature for solace against the pain in their lives"-- Publisher's Weekly "An Agatha Christie-style mystery bolstered by a love story worthy of Madame de la Fayette...Laurence Cossé excels in deconstructing the world of books."-- Madame Figaro "A deeply satisfying manifesto of book love and a sharp indictment of those who would use such love for their own evil purposes."-- The Huffington Post "Eminently readable, it is a love letter to the novel...and a profound exploration of human nature." --Library Journal , Praise for A Novel Bookstore "Reader manifestos, tricksy narration, a dash of mystery, somewhat surreal plotting - Cossé stacks her novel full of the delights of sophisticated writing."-- The Guardian "Eminently readable, it is a love letter to the novel (literature junkies will find within its pages a seemingly endless supply of book suggestions) and a profound exploration of human nature."-- Library Journal "Cossé poignantly depicts characters who have turned to literature for solace against the pain in their lives."-- Publishers Weekly "Marvelous and stimulating."-- San Francisco Chronicle

Synopsis
A Europa classic about love, deceit, Paris, and books Ivan and Francesca decide to open a bookstore devoted solely to good literature and their love of books. Frustrated by the glut of mediocre books printed every month and envisioning a true literary paradise, they offer a selection of literary masterpieces chosen by a top-secret committee of like-minded literary connoisseurs. To their amazement, after only a few months, their vision proves popular. Very popular. Tucked away in a corner of Paris, the bookstore quickly becomes a haven for bibliophiles. Indeed, it becomes so successful that the great majority of Parisian readers are now buying their books only at Ivan and Francesca's store, and other stores in the city are starting to change how they order and display books too. Now big publishing's powerful elite are desperately trying to adapt their business model to the demand for quality above all else. As the store's success grows, venomous comments begin circulating online and the owners, and their selection committee, become the target of vicious editorials and threats. A Novel Bookstore blends book love and bookstore love with a brilliantly conceived and entertaining mystery and is a delight for readers of all tastes., A Europa classic about love, deceit, Paris, and books!

- a***4 (322)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book was in excellent condition, as described in the listing, and was excellently packaged, arriving in unblemished condition. The shipping time was very quick. While the listing showed the book with a dust jacket, the book did not come with one. I brought this to the attention of the seller, who responded to me right away, and was satisfied with the seller's explanation. I have to say that the service was in every way outstanding.
- h***2 (1192)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
