Such a beautiful bookstore. I went there today for the first time in about two years due to me living in Cincinnati now, unfortunately they were closed. You bet I'll be coming in tomorrow though. Always loved this gem of a place for amazing reads. Five stars everyday!

The handmade tall wood bookshelves, the inviting outside detailed artwork, comfortable reading areas, and a wide selection of books in a surprisingly large store. The house cats make you feel right at home. This is a one of a kind, very special book store!

I’m a big bookstore aficionado, whenever I visit a new city I try to go to as many used/independent bookstores as I can and I can truly say Iliad is one of the best i’ve been to. It’s the perfect bookstore to me, vast, amazing selection, …

Great place to spend a couple of hours exploring. Great prices, was able to buy 10 books: hardcovers, reference texts, and more, for less than 50 dollars. Very cozy atmosphere and there's 2 cats walking around checking up on things. Good amount of parking in back and there's some free books out front in boxes.

The books are available for you to view and physically interact with before buying. Everything is laid out just like you would expect at a library. This really is a great hidden gem of a book store. The only books that are not available to preview are the special editions (i.e. signed, first editions, or rare books). You have to ask for those at the counter, but the staff are very friendly.

It's a used bookstore. No website or catalog that I know of, but you could try calling them. Once you get there it's very organized.

Do you accept bulk orders?

Lolette Jaca Rebusa | Mar 27, 2019
The Iliad Bookshop (Owner) | Mar 28, 2019

Not sure what you mean...we are a used bookstore, so we can supply a large number of inexpensive used books, but not multiple copies of a single title.

what sort of books do you buy? only nonfiction, fiction? any time cutoff for when they were published or specific genres? i have a lot of books im looking to pass on, some vintage, some textbooks or nonfiction, and new and young adult novels.

Hello! I have many old books I would like to sell: Some first editions, some in English, some in French. Most in excellent condition. Would you like me to bring them in so you can have a look? Thank you! Elizabeth

Elizabeth Kate Simpson | Mar 27, 2019
The Iliad Bookshop (Owner) | Mar 28, 2019

We like old books, but we are only interested in the subjects of Literature and the Arts. Also they have to be in good condition (not falling apart or missing boards, pages, etc). You probably should bring them in to our main buyer, Dan. He's heading out of town until Tuesday of next week. He works 3pm until 9pm, Tues - Fri. Call ahead to make sure he's available. thanks, ricky Iliad Bookshop
