In a world where nearly everyone is either listening to someone else read books to them or people carrying hundreds of "books" around in a device, Iliad Bookstore is a breath of fresh air! Such a variety, nicely laid out and clearly marked sections...you can find everything from DIY on jewelry making to ancient architecture to the most popular fiction. Great place to buy, browse or even just to find a quiet corner to read in. Nothing beats the smell of the pages of a REAL book!
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.
Is this the world's greatest used bookstore? The Illiad is, hands down, my favorite place in Los Angeles. There are somehow completely new books every time I go in with incredibly fair prices. Plus, cats!
I take my 'precious' (to me) books and for a very reasonable fee come away with my book's dust jacket protected. I have purchased pricy books over time -- they never hassled me but I paid quickly. Just ask at the counter one of the friendly staff about buying the better volumes over time if you require that arrangement. Can't say enough about in praise of the Iliad, a place I have gone nearly twenty years.
Ever since I was in high school I heard about the Illiad but never got around to visiting. I dropped by the first time today to pick up some books for a local elementary school. First off, this is a PROPER bookstore with passionate people, comfortable atmosphere and just oozing with scholarly vibes sans stuffiness or pretentiousness. It has this lovely blend of organic non-franchise comfort with no none sense ambiance. The antiquarian books behind the counter at the register also immediately caught my eye. Really enjoyed my time there, will definitely come back.
