Wonderful selection. A feeling of old-time bookstores with no rush on browsing, my questions were clearly and completely answered, and a great store layout. No nonsense or pestering staff.

Great specialty bookstore for the auto or aviation enthusiast. Nice to see small, independent bookstore such as this.

Newer location, 1 block further east. One of a kind bookstore, only Aero/Auto bookstore in SoCal

Don't bring a young child! That sounds counterintuitive since this is a bookstore devoted to subjects that many kids love--airplanes and cars. However, an encounter with the unhappy, f-bomb dropping owner isn't worth the risk. And if you ask her to tone down the language in the presence of a kid (as I did), she just might tell you to mind your own business and insult you out of the store as well. It's a shame really--the place has a extensive and eclectic collection of aviation and automotive books. But I can't recommend it. The customer service vibes are way too negative. I hope the owner finds a way to cheer up--at least in the presence of customers.

Amazing! Tina found and shipped the rare Porsche book that I needed the same day! Not only do they have incredible resources, but the personalized service is off the chart. Especially in this post Covid world we live in. Thanks again Tina.

So much car and aviation history here. The entrance screams its uniqueness. Can't no body pass this store without being slightly curious! For the love of books, cars, airplanes, cars, books, this is seriously a godsend! The lady who runs the place knows a sh*t ton about cars. She will school you in the history of this neighborhood and how this unique store came to be. Not only does she know a lot about cars and stuff, she can also recommend you places to shop and eat at around this store. Looking for car events? She knows more than the fliers she's putting out. Any car in particular you want advice on? She probably drives that car, or will refer you to talk to some of the people she got to know well that is just as much a car enthusiast as she is. There are multiple events throughout the month packed with book signing, meeting the authors and crushing on celebrities that are just like you, that also want to be behind the wheels of the most interesting and unique cars in the world.

Incredible find- if you’re looking for any auto-related book (or DVD or magazine!), chances are it’s here! Great place for auto enthusiasts to get lost in! The owner, Tina, is very friendly and willing to help. I’ll be back!

Trying to find a special gift and wanted to hit up local mom and pop's before the big stores. Unfortunately, after less than a minute I had to hang up the phone and let the lady that answered go. She was very rude for absolutely no good reason. Too bad, other ratings seem great. I don't like leaving bad reviews unless it's deserving. Not cool.

This place is fantastic! Every car and plane book in print. Local history books, WWII books, vintage auto art, you may even catch a glimpse of Jay Leno buying a book and driving off in a vintage car from his collection.

I have been an off and on customer of this bookstore going back to the late 80's, when, if memory serves, it was called Milestone Autobooks. In any event, I have really enjoyed my visits and can never seem to walk out empty handed. Its just that kind of place. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and an amazing selection of books you likely will not find anywhere else. So whether you are a car enthusiast looking for something specific or just like to browse around, this is the place for you.

I travel for work. I saw, many years ago, a book at the Hoepli Bookstore in Milano that I regretted picking up due to its size. It was about one of my favorite Italian designers. Book wasn't there on a following trip, nor was it available for reorder, nor online. Been hunting for this silver hardcover book for years. Osaka, no. Singapore, no. Vevey, no. Leningrad, Paris, Schaffhausen, Stuttgart, London, Denver, NYC, eBay, Craigslist, Amazon, no, no, no. In disbelief I happened on it behind a glass cabinet here. Thank you to the pleasant couple that run Autobooks.
