Have you ever noticed the big safe full of books behind Iliad's front counter? We get asked about it frequently. "Is it really old?" is a common question (the answer: no, we bought it new just a few years ago). But most customers want to know what kind of books merit storage in a safe (we think of these as the rarest of our rare books), so in this column we'll pick one book every month and tell you about it. This month's book is...

No, Iliad's not doing its own podcast (at least not yet!), but we've recently learned of some cool new literary podcasts that we wanted to share.
First off, many of you probably remember Ricky, who worked at the Iliad for more than twenty years before retiring in March 2020. Ricky's staying busy with (among other things) podcasting, and his newest show is all about vintage paperbacks. You can catch the first episode of The Paperback Show by clicking here.

Next, we've got one that will be launching soon and promises to be great...
Always Authors is a podcast that features candid conversations between two authors, starting with their work, lives, and favorite books, then continuing down whatever surprising paths their conversation takes them.
It’s different from other literary podcasts because there are never hosts or academic interviewers; it’s one author who chooses another author they’d love to chat with.
Always Authors features a diverse array of authors representing the broadest spectrum of literary genres.
Click here to sign up to get the latest updates about when the podcast launches and who their first guests will be! This will be a great opportunity to hear about new authors and works that will make perfect additions to your reading list.

Bonus pic: here's a photo of former store cat Henrietta, who went home to live with Bob in 2013; this photo was taken about three weeks before Bob passed. Henrietta is now settling into life with her new human, Iliad's own Lisa.

We'd love to include your photos in our newsletter! Feel free to send to info@iliadbooks.com , let us know that it's okay to use the photo, and we'll include it in a future newsletter.
