About Us

MOTOR BOOKS is the oldest established motoring booksellers in the world, it started life in 1950 in Cheapside and after a short spell in Westminster moved to the West End in 1957.

Soon after the move a gradual introduction of transport related books brought in rail, aviation and military subjects.

In recent times we have expanded to include DVDs and CD ROM items. The aviation, military and maritime section has become far more than the original transport related list and now covers a complete range of history, development, uniforms and biographies.

Our railway shop is a mecca for all manner of rail enthusiasts from all over the world and since we have been MOTOR BOOKS for so long we don’t need to tell you how good we are at that!

In 2007 we moved to our present address at 13/15 Cecil Court London WC2N 4AN
