Book Stores in Burbank, CA

“I have been going to Autobooks since 1970. It is a one-of-a kind bookstore, a source of books on every automotive and aircraft related subject. Great selection and friendly welcoming staff.”

“Some bookstores sell books. Others preserve history. Burbank Military Books belongs to the second category.

Walking through its shelves feels less like browsing a bookstore and more like stepping into the library of someone who has devoted a lifetime to the study of military history.
Every shelf invites another discovery, with an extraordinary collection devoted to military history, World War II, aviation, armor, strategy, and many other specialized subjects.
It is the kind of place where you arrive looking for one book and leave with several because every aisle offers something remarkable.

What impressed me most was the outstanding selection of books on the Eastern Front of World War II.
While many bookstores focus primarily on the Western Front, this collection explores one of the most decisive and complex theaters of the war in exceptional depth.
Whether your interest is Romania, Germany, the Soviet Union, Stalingrad, Kursk, or the countless lesser-known operations and memoirs, the breadth of material is truly impressive.

For anyone passionate about the Eastern Front, this bookstore is a treasure.

The owner is exceptionally knowledgeable and generous with his time.
His passion for history is immediately evident, and every conversation reflects a lifetime of learning and dedication.
I learned almost as much from speaking with him as I did from the books I purchased.
It is refreshing to meet someone so committed to preserving and sharing historical knowledge.

This was my first visit, and I left with several books and a long reading list for the future.
I am already looking forward to returning. Independent bookstores like this are becoming increasingly rare.

They preserve not only remarkable collections but also the knowledge, scholarship, and enthusiasm that simply cannot be replaced by an online search.

If you have any interest in military history—especially World War II and the Eastern Front—I cannot recommend Burbank Military Books highly enough.

It is truly a hidden gem for historians, researchers, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the study of history.”

“CTN Studio is one of my favorite places in Burbank! It's an inspiring and supportive environment for artists of all kinds. They exhibit amazing artwork, provide the best educational workshops, and their staff are so kind and friendly. I am thankful for Tina Price and her wonderful community.”

“Good location for old movies, books and posters. Great low prices. Located on Magnolia St, awesome street in Burbank CA for collectible and memobrilia stores and restaurants.”

“I just went in here for the Starbucks while passing through town. I love that there are still real bookstores. Took time to check out some books. Huge selection. Good memories. Staff seemed very miserable and unhappy but honestly so did the customers. Maybe it is just Burbank IDK. Was glad to continue on my way further south.”

“I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting the store in person as of yet, however the online customer service is top notch. Jill is wonderful! Communications are always prompt and very warm. I highly recommend them. ✨”
