Great selection, helpful staff. One of my favorite bookstores in LA

One of the few remaining book stores of old with shelves upon shelves of rare, new, and many used books in pretty much every genre, in a space that is growing and with new and still empty shelves just added the last time I was there. This is one of those places a book-lover could easily spend hours scanning book covers and browsing through their pages.

Such an awesome bookstore. Best staff, awesome finds, cheap prices. They do lots of cool things for kids on the weekends... we love this place!!

Pretty great. Tbh doesn't compare to the strand in NYC but you know it's not the same. At the same time it's not a bad alternative it's pretty great and LA is in desperate need of more second hand book shops. I don't know how LA doesn't have these on every corner. I guess I miss this part of NYC.

Great variety of used books. Well organized and great prices! This bookstore has everything you could want including the old book smell (not overwhelming) & 2 darling cats Apollos & Zeus! What more could one ask for! 💕

The staff here was great and super helpful for my first time there. I spent a few hours roaming about and exploring the inventory. It's a wide variety to choose from, and you'll fall in love with a lot of what they have.

Our second favorite place in LA after the Getty. Unparalleled ambiance. Helpful staff. Cute cats. Eclectic selection of used books. And a clean, whimsically decorated restroom. What's not to love.

My favorite bookstore. Super friendly and incredibly helpful staff. Wonderful and homey aesthetic with cute bookstore cats! I make this trip bimonthly from San Diego and it's always worth it.

This is a Gem of a bookstore. Unassuming, large and varied stock of used books among which little gems are to be found - all at bargain prices. Thank you for the valuable service you provide.

I love this place! They have amazing collections and a whole room just for fiction books and literature. Everything is organized by the authors' last name so it was very easy to find everything. The staffs were all so helpful and friendly. They also have chairs to sit and read books in the fiction rooms. I really can't hope for anything better. However, if you are looking for newer books maybe you will not find it here.

Possibly the best book store in southern California. I come here at least once a month. They have a great selection that constantly changes so if you can't find what you want, you may be able to at a later date.

The Iliad is the greatest bookstore I have ever been to. They have a high turnover rate, and they are very careful with what they accept, and the prices that they sell all of the books, fancy (or not) are more than fair. Think; highly curated, highly affordable, built for the people by the people, vibe, then you start to see why this is such a fantastic bookstore.

Just a beautiful, cozy and thorough used book store. Bonus points for the cat mascots. A must for serious readers.

Old school used book store! You can find gems if you take your time. If you love the feel of a real book to read and hold this place is a gold mine. It's right next to NoHo so you can make a great afternoon of walking, food and reading.

Wow!!! this bookstore was one of a kind. I love spending time here when my off day. I love reading books and this place has a lot of great books. You can really have a great time. No one will disturb you here. Cool place and I love to be back here again and again.

I go here at least once a month and find the best comics. Zeus and Ares really make the store feel like home. Watch out for the couches though, they're a little gross! ;)

Spend time here and get lost in all kinds of books. Everyone is respectful and very knowledgeable. One of the cutest things is the cats you will see walking around. They just add some magic to an already awesome place. If you love books and bookstores and haven't been here yet, then put some hours aside to visit and shut off your phone.

Lovely little place with a lot of $1 books I love to buy!!! Could spend hours browsing here and I feel at home with the kitties and the sofas ;)

I love this place! The staff knows there inventory and a happy to assist. Much like the The Iliad Bookshop s of yesterday before the big box stores put all the other players out. Great stock and fills orders quickly.

This was the outstanding used book store in the Valley. There are always Baggins to be found here, and with a little searching, there are treasures to be found. Highly Recommend!

Huge selection of used books across many topics. You can find books there that you will not find online. Easy to find location with easy parking. Large selection of graphic novels.

I am a lover of books. In our world of technology, I bemoan the loss of the printed word on paper. Don’t get me wrong…I fully embrace the miracle of the computer and all its forms. I am a writer/author and for the first 35 years of my life I got most of my information from ink and paper sources and I regret the drastically dwindling number of bookstores. Fortunately, the Valley’s landscape is dotted with a rich supply of independent and specialty bookstores. I love books…the look…the feel…the smell and the optics of a book. The Iliad Bookshop is the one place in the Valley where you can go to get all the “booking” you need. I have been a customer for almost 30 years and the owner Dan has a multi-generational family legacy in the business. The inventory is astonishing and if you can’t find what you’re looking for, they’ll search for you. They are courteous, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about books and the business. I’ll stack them up against any public librarian. Other services include a robust and fair book buy service which can come in handy when you need to sell your books. They carefully check each title for its resale value, meaning you’ll get a fair and honest price. A bonus: you’ll notice that many of the books at Iliad have mylar covers to help minimize dust jacket wear and tear. And if you’re a cat lover you’ll appreciate Apollo, the store cat which roams the premises. A cozy, friendly environment.

This is a fantastic used book store. Wonderful selection of graphic novels, esoteric books, rare first editions and signed book. Should not miss this store if your a reader.

a neat little bookshop with tons of books! their fiction section is pretty extensive, with a sale section with $1-2 books. the employees were friendly and politely asked if i needed help finding anything, although i was just browsing. there is a sitting area with a few couches/chairs where people were reading. and of course, the cats! we saw two in store today, mostly napping.

Don't go right before closing. You'll want to spend a while in here exploring treasures in a wide range of topics.

Absolutely fantastic used bookstore! My son and I visited and were impressed beyond words (no pun intended). This place has every possible interest covered and a tremendous amount of books on each subject. I found a large amount of books on chess, cooking, Hollywood films, biographies, etc. Going to visit again soon. And a plus, they have a cat walking around which will meow at you until you acknowledge its presence.

If you're thinking of going here to look for literature, don't bother. Unless you're starting from nothing, you won't find anything but books you already have, with the exception, perhaps, of the drama section. Nothing special in this bookshop. Sorry LA--looks like the real bookstores are still in San Francisco.

With book stores becoming more and more rare. This used book store was heaven! I was in a bit of a hurry and went straight to the front desk to ask for what I was looking for. The gentleman was so helpful, he walked me right over to the section I needed and even pulled out a couple of books for me! He was nice and very helpful! I will definetly be back to spend more time there!!! I walked out with more than I expected, that's for sure!

Good if you want to browse through stacks of books and see what they have, but if you have something in mind, you'll have a heck of a time finding it.

Best indie bookstore in Burbank and is fun to hang out at. Their selection of used and new books is incredible. Support local businesses by shopping at the best of them!

Can I live here? I just went for the first time and I definitely annoyed my friend with how long it took me to leave. I've been really hurting for independent and used bookstores these days, and this place scratches that itch. The SFF selection is awesome, I found a lot of 70s and 80s authors that I haven't found other places. The atmosphere is nice and chill. And the CATS. 💕

This place is a true gem to find in a city like Los Angeles. Being a huge fan of Mark Twain I found an incredible variety of his books there that left bookstores like Barnes & Noble in the dust. I could have spent 2-3 hours there browsing the wonderful selection of books they have. Highly recommended!

LOVE THIS PLACE! I have been coming here for years, before they did the expansion. I love every inch of this bookstore

I pick through their free stuff outside in boxes most of the time. Nice bookstore though. They got some good art books. Looking for a specific large book on Bosh, but haven't found it yet.

This is such a charming and unique location. I've been here a few times, the most recent to sell a box of books. The parking is a little tricky as it is near a busy and semi-blind intersection. I believe there is parking in the back of the store, but it is not apparent driving up to it. Saw 2 store cats and at least one was open to petting. I was mostly interested in creating as I waited and was a little confused/ disappointed at the shelf labeling as it was quite inaccurate and a bit of a hunt to find the related material for the label. Overall, it was a nice experience and the staff was friendly enough, I only had a short interaction with them for the transaction.

Very interesting place, great selection and variety of used books. Very friendly staff and 2 resident cats that keep them company. They have a trade or buy program available most nights, as well. Highly recommended when in NoHo.

I love this place. It's a quaint used book store in North Hollywood. The books are in good condition. The bookstore employees are nice, friendly, and are very helpful. They have a good selection of used books. And I've never been disappointed with anything I've bought here. I could peruse the aisles for hours here.

Absolutely love this place. Always a good find or 4 every time I go in, and the place has great energy. I always recommend this place to people! Plus the two resident cats, Zeus and Apollo are a plus, get are lovely. Definitely stop by and buy a few books, you will for sure find something that peaks your interest. There is street parking but they also have parking in the back.

A great used book store in North Hollywood that has an absolutely amazing selection. They do have paperbacks, but they seem to specialize in hardback editions, all of which are in high-quality condition. The prices aren't bad, and the staff is knowledgeable and quite friendly. They also have a couple of lovely reading Nooks should you get overwhelmed with a particular subject matter that you have to explore at that moment. Parking is on the street and depending on when you go it shouldn't be a problem.

This book store was everything I was looking to experience. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly great vibes & not intrusive or at all. I don't like shopping with a stalker asking me if I'm ok every time I move to another aisle. .AND they had some adorably chill cats that made it that much more welcoming ♡

Amazing ambience due to thousands of books, many of those vintage. Even more amazing are the beautiful cats (2 ?) that "guard" the premises. Their humans are very helpful also. If I was in better health, I would visit more often.

There's good reason for their high overall rating. Terrific place; good folks. A real pleasure to lose oneself in this magnificent bookshop.

This used bookshop is absolutely wonderful. They have an extensive collection of literature, nonfiction, graphic novels, plays, and even some rare books as well. Beautiful murals greet you as you enter, and they have 2 cats! This is one of my favorite places in North Hollywood. I recommend everyone to visit!

A deceptively small building on the outside, the inside of this store is absolutely massive. I've been here several times and I'm always discovering new books. The employees are friendly (including the cats) and are very helpful if you nees help finding any specific books you'd need.
