Founded in 2022 and based in Los Angeles, AUTO Books is equal parts rare bookshop, literary archive, sculptural intervention, and traveling salon—all housed in the trunk of a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL.

The selection of titles ranges from out-of-print collections and contemporary chapbooks to artist books and hybrid literary forms. {read}
