History:
Motorbooks began in the Minneapolis garage of founder Thomas Warth in 1965. A native of England and a lifelong automotive aficionado, Warth began a modest automotive book retail business, then known as Classic Motorbooks, in his home because he was unable to find quality car, motorcycle and racing books.
In 1973, Motorbooks began to publish auto-related books of its own, which it distributed along with those of leading publishers from around the world. In 1976, Motorbooks relocated to Osceola, Wisconsin, where the company’s warehouse remains today.
Motorbooks International was created in the mid-1970s to wholesale automotive and aviation books, first to specialty bookstores and then to the world’s book trade.
During the 1980s and 1990s the company continue to grow, expanding its own publishing program of books and calendars and providing the highest quality products to enthusiasts in the United States and around the world. Tom Warth sold the company to the Chronicle Publishing Company of San Francisco in 1989.
Motorbooks.com was established in 1998 and now offers more than 8,000 book and calendar titles across a wide range of subjects, making it truly the “place to be” for enthusiasts everywhere.
In 2000, Motorbooks was acquired by Flagship Partners, Inc. of New York, a private equity investment firm, and a new phase of growth began. The publishing offices and headquarters were moved to St. Paul, Minnesota and the publishing program further expanded.
In 2004 our newest imprint, Zenith Press, was launched, along with a related web site, Zenithpress.com, continuing the company’s tradition of military history and aviation publishing.
Today, MBI Publishing Company publishes nearly 150 new titles each year under its Motorbooks International, Zenith Press, MBI and Crestline imprints. |
