About Sacramento Book Collectors Club
The Sacramento Book Collectors Club, a volunteer organization, was founded in 1939 at Hart's Restaurant in Sacramento and incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1954. The Club has over 100 members of all ages and occupations who love books, collecting, editing, illustrating, publishing, and all other activities relating to books and the book arts. A number of members have been published both locally and nationally.
PUBLICATIONS
The general purpose of the Club is to promote interest in the printed word and, from time to time, publish such books, pamphlets and other forms of printing which reflect member interest.
Since its first publication in 1942, the Club has published eighteen books, including two incunabulum leaf books and scores of special publications and keepsakes printed by Club members. In its issue of scholarly and popular material, the Club's publications rank as fine printing and at least four of them have received national recognition for outstanding graphics achievements. Its publications, all in limited editions, are regarded as collector's items, and its earlier publications are scarce and demand high prices in bookstores. Most club publications are out of print. The Club also hopes to publishes a quarterly newsletter. An archive of Club publications, keepsakes, and meeting minutes is at the California State Library.
MEETINGS
The Club meets on the second Friday of the month from September through June, with a summer break in July and August.
