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 we have a special guest appearance from former Iliad cat Henrietta, now settling into her new forever home with employee Lisa. She's always been a shy girl (she's about 10 now) and was with employee Bob for about 9 years before he passed away in January, so her life's been upended. But she's very sweet and she loves to play and eat treats and chat with Lisa, and we're guessing she'll be a lap cat soon enough!
