A car book like no other,
Auto Erotica
offers a nostalgic look at vintage cars through the literature, leaflets and pamphlets that sold them to us
Over the course of its 240 pages,
covers the gamut of motoring in Britain during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s through rare ephemeral booklets full of unusual graphic ideas and concepts. Their fabulous photography, dazzling color charts, daring typography, strange foldouts and inspiring styles symbolize the automobile aspirations of generations of Britons.

The Music Library
