I've been keeping and posting a list of books by Kossacks for a couple years now. It has grown so large I needed to split it into two parts to stay within the diary length limits. To be included on the list below, the authors had to meet the following criteria:
- active kossacks: the author must be a registered user who must have posted a comment or diary within the past six months (or so)
- books in print: the book must be currently in print and available from a retailer
- no self published works: sometimes it is hard for me to determine which books are self-published, but I've made my best effort
The most recent version of the second part of the list, with all the out-of-print books and self-published books and books by former kossacks and books by relatives of kossacks can be found here.
Special shoutout to the new addition to the list: Rachel Vogelsang.
