Hi Gang!

Wow, summer's almost here...

We hope your spring has been enjoyable - ours has (if a bit wet!).

Please join us in wishing Zeus and Apollo a very Happy 9th Birthday! Although we're not sure about the boys' exact DOB, we estimate it was June 15, 2014.

See you soon!

Dan, Lisa, Poul, Matt and Sean (and Zeus and Apollo)

WHAT'S IN THE SAFE?

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...

The Grand Bazaar: Istanbul by Serdar Gulgun, Irem Kinay, and Laziz Hamani. Hardback in slipcase without jacket as published by Assouline in 2011. Condition is very good:light wear to case, very light soiling to binding. $500

And thank you to former employee Kevin for this ridiculous shot of Apollo.
