From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grolier Club is a society of bibliophiles, founded in New York City in January, 1884. The club is named after Jean Grolier de Servières, Viscount d'Aguisy, Treasurer General of France, whose library was famous. The founders of the club were William L. Andrews, Theodore L. de Vinne, A. W. Drake, Albert Gallup, Robert Hoe, Brayton Ives, Samuel W. Martin, E. S. Mead, and Arthur B. Turnure. Perfection in the art of bookmaking is encouraged. E. D.
