An invitation to Philadelphia's Philobiblon Club



The Philobiblon Club of Philadelphia is a Club for book collectors, book
sellers, librarians, and anyone else interested in books. The Club meets
on the second Tuesday of each month between October and May (normally
excepting January) at The Franklin Inn Club (St. James and Camac Streets,
just north and east of the intersection of Locust and 13th Streets).

Meetings include dinners for members and their guests. People interested
in joining the Club are invited to correspond with Cynthia Buffington,
Membership Chair (rarebks@prbm.com).

But talks are open to all, members or non-members, for a token fee, and
the Club WELCOMES visitors at its talks. Philadelphia is easy to reach
from New Jersey, Delaware, and eastern Pennsylvania; for specific topics,
it proves a relatively easy train journey even for people as distant as
Washington and New York City.
