We love cars, that\u2019s a fact. The funny side note of being the automotive addicts that we are, is that most of us not only like the cars themselves, but everything automotive that surrounds our favorite car brand or type. I\u2019m talking about t-shirts, jackets, key rings, posters and of course, books.<\/h3>\n

A while ago, we published a Miata book review<\/a> which seemed to be quite a success and that made me want to write a short story about the greatest automotive book store I\u2019ve seen to date.<\/p>\n

\"Autonet<\/p>\n

I know what you\u2019re thinking, why drive an hour or more to go to a book store, if you can easily order your books online nowadays, and have them delivered to your doorstep? Well, because of the experience. And believe me, visiting AutoNet Carbooks<\/a> was worth the drive from Belgium to the Netherlands. What\u2019s more? Think about it. It\u2019s a car book store. Yes, a book store dedicated solely to books about cars!<\/p>\n

The store was founded by Ellen Van Beusekom, back in 1996. Through the years, her business grew and she had to move several times until eventually ending up in Zundert (The Netherlands), which is the store\u2019s current location. Since 2011, Ellen has been assisted by her husband Gijs which are both true car fans. At this moment they own a BMW 1M, an E30 M3 and a Z3. Their favorite car brands are BMW (obviously, if you own 3 of them), Alfa Romeo and Donkervoort.<\/p>\n
