Hi Gang!

We're blasting the July newsletter out a few days early to give you a last chance to take advantage of our "READ EVERYWHERE" t-shirt campaign (see below), which ends TONIGHT.

Well, we did it: we got through the worst of the pandemic. We know we're not out of the virus-filled water completely, but things are definitely improving all the time.

Mask-wearing is still somewhat up in the air as the County has changed their stance twice in the last two weeks. Here at the Iliad we are following the state and county guidelines issued on June 15 and asking that those who are not yet fully vaccinated wear a face covering while in the store; for those who are vaccinated (thank you!), masking is optional. You'll also be happy to know that our bathroom and couches are now once again available to our customers.

Sorry to say that we still don't have new dates yet on when we will resume buying/taking books for credit (although when we do buy again, we'll likely do it by appointment only). If you'd like to donate books, we can give you a hand unloading once you're in our rear parking lot.

Similarly, our Rare Book Room is still a work-in-progress; in the meantime, you may search our website for rare books, or ask about something you're looking for the next time you visit.

Thank you again to all of you who have supported us throughout the last fifteen months. You're the reason we made it.

Here's a recent blog post from us:

Also: We loved partnering with The Antaeus Theatre as a part of their North Hollywood Tour! Check out the tour they created of the neighborhood along with the corresponding audio play at zipcodeplays.info.
