Hi to all -
A little closer to home for most of us in the US, Burbank's "other" auto
book store is not well known, but carries only used books and shop manuals.
It's Automotive Bookstop, 1508A W. Magnolia, Burbank, CA 91506,
818-845-1202, autobookstop@worldnet.att.net
The owner, Fred Chaparro, is a former racer (midgets & other) and knows his
books (and local racing history) pretty well. On Saturday mornings, you may
run into a noted celebrity car hobbyist.
Bob (every burg should have two auto bookstores!)
