The Grolier Club

"Founded in 1884, the Grolier Club of New York is America's oldest and largest society for bibliophiles and enthusiasts in the graphic arts. Named for Jean Grolier, the Renaissance collector renowned for sharing his library with friends, the Club's objective is to foster "the literary study and promotion of the arts pertaining to the production of books."

The Club maintains a research library on printing and related book arts, and its programs include public exhibitions as well as a long and distinguished series of publications."
