Hardcover reprint of first edition. 1969. 66pp. "The Zamorano 80: A Selection of Distinguished California Books Made by Members of the Zamorano Club. Los Angeles: Zamorano Club, 1945.

At the time of its founding in 1928, the purpose of the Zamorano Club was “to establish contact and encourage exchange of thought among its members, who shall be men interested in Fine Books. To gather and maintain a collection of books and other objects relating to or illustrating the arts of the book. To produce occasionally such books or pamphlets as will promote the aims of the Club.” During the Club’s first year, all Club meetings were devoted to the printing arts. However, change was in the wind. In 1928, Leslie Bliss, Librarian of the Huntington Library in San Marino, was one of the first individuals admitted to the club after its founding. He was followed in 1929 by Phil Townsend Hanna, editor of Westways, and by Robert Cowan, the great bibliographer of the history of California. In 1931 Henry Wagner was admitted to the Club. All these men were great western historians, and they began to create a new branch of interest in the Zamorano Club." from zamoranoclubla.org
