The Motor Bookstore is a small independent retailer that focuses on repair and service manuals for a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, and other equipment such as outboard motors, ATVs, snowmobiles, and more. Based in Richardson, Texas, the company operates an online storefront at themotorbookstore.com, serving DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians seeking manual references. It distributes manuals from established publishers such as Clymer, Chilton, Haynes, Bentley, Seloc, and I&T Manuals. The venture began in 1994 as a supplement to Motorcycle Shopper magazine, launching MotorcycleShopper.com in 1995 and later establishing MotorcycleBooks.com as a stand-alone ecommerce site in 1997. In 2002, the firm adopted the name The Motor Bookstore to reflect its expanded catalog that now covers manuals for a wider array of vehicle types. Operating as a retailer of do-it-yourself repair and service manuals, it serves individual vehicle owners and hobbyists seeking authoritative manuals from leading publishers.
