Autobooks-Aerobooks is the legendary bookshop in bustling Burbank that's (almost) totally dedicated to the history and excitement of the automobile. Airplanes (especially military ones), motorcycles (especially fast ones) and trucks (almost any kind of them) are also part of the wonderful mix of media which includes books, magazines, DVDs, Tapes, paintings, posters, photos, tin signs; and scale, diecast models (hundreds and hundreds of the most accurate, coolest, neatest -- gotta have 'em diecast models). Of late, increased interest in the classics has given impetus for a good selection of used books on both subjects (car and planes) many coming in from important collections.Founded in 1951 by racer, track operator (Willow Springs), and former Road & Track staffer, the late Harry Morrow; Autobooks-Aerobooks has been in constant operation ever since, supplying car "lovers" and airplane "nuts" with their weekly "fix" of hot-off-the-press information on their favorite subjects.The atmosphere at Autobooks is very much akin to the old general store, where the latest news and information is always a hot topic. It's a place where cool street rods park cuddle up next to new Ferraris and well-worn Volvo wagons in the parking lot; and where the great races, drivers, and cars are all still in action (in books, on tape, and in miniature).The store features regular book-signings with great authors and photographers and the chances of meeting someone who's a bona fide member of the "I ? cars and planes club" are always high any time that the store is open.Autobooks-Aerobooks is located in Burbank, California on Magnolia Blvd. just one block East of Hollywood Way. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 10AM - 6PM (with a special Cruise-In (mini-car show) featuring FREE coffee and doughnuts set for every Saturday morning from 8 - 11AM).-Stokes
