Fire at Iliad bookshop in North Hollywood is followed by outpouring of support from customers, neighbors
The future of The Iliad Bookshop was in jeopardy following a Thursday night fire.
While the flames didn't go past the metal door, the smoke that penetrated the books' pages threatened to make them unsellable. "Luckily, the fire department blew out what they could that night. They spent a good hour with the blowers on, so that really saved the inventory, I think," Weinstein said. Weinstein, who opened the bookstore more than 30 years ago, is expressing deep gratitude for those who donated to his business, dropped off kind notes, and even cat food for his pets. "It's been five times what we've asked for, what they've contributed. It's just an outpouring," he said. "I feel really loved by the community. So, I don't really know why anyone would do this.
