The Book Club of California

The Book Club of California, founded in 1912, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the appreciation and preservation of fine books, printing, and graphic arts. It promotes scholarship through lectures, exhibitions, and publications, fostering a community of collectors, writers, and artists interested in bookmaking history and craftsmanship. The club also supports projects that highlight California’s literary and printing heritage, encouraging appreciation for high-quality, artistically crafted books and printing traditions. It serves as both a cultural steward and a forum for sharing expertise related to book arts and the written word.
