Background
The Zamorano Club is an organization of fine press, rare book, and manuscript collectors, founded in Los Angeles in 1928 by
Charles K. Adams, Garner A. Beckett, William W. Clary, Arthur M. Ellis, A. Bruce McCallister, Robert O. Schad, and John C.
Treanor. The club was named in honor of Agustín V. Zamorano, a provisional governor of Alta California and the state's first
printer. The Zamorano Club meets monthly during the year, excluding a summer break in the months of June, July, and August,
and has done so since its inception.
