The Sacramento Book Collectors Club is a book club and publisher based in Sacramento, California. It was founded in 1939 and has been running as a non-profit organisation since 1954. The club houses around 10,00 books, and has published 18 new titles since 1942. ==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 publishes a quarterly newsletter. An archive of Club publications, keepsakes, and meeting minutes is at the California State Library. The club's collection includes the translations of the Duke of Württemberg, Friedrich Paul Wilhelm,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sacramento Book Collectors Club Collection )〕 letters written by Alonzo Delano to the ''San Francisco Free Trader'' in the early 1850s in reference to the gold rush and English translations of Théophile de Rutté, an early 19th century settler in San Francisco who was one of the last people to write about the city before a series of fires between 1849 and 1851. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sacramento Book Collectors Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
