About the author

Grolier Club

The Grolier Club is a society, not a person. Founded in New York in 1884 by nine men in the book trade and named after Jean Grolier, the sixteenth-century French treasurer whose bindings collectors still chase, it exists to study the book as an object: printing, binding, illustration, collecting.
