California Bills Automotive Handbooks California Bill’s Automotive Handbooks is named after California Bill Fisher, publisher of many hands-on car books of the ’50s. Moving from HP Books and then to Fisher Books, California Bill’s Automotive Handbooks reflect the character and enthusiasm pioneered by Bill Fisher. Performance Design created the California Bill’s logo in the flavor of Tom Medley, a friend of Bill Fisher’s.
