Old Book-Table (Club)

Founded in New York in 1931 and originally named the Book Table, the Old Book Table is a social club composed of antiquarian booksellers and those engaged in professions related to antiquarian bookselling. The club meets regularly throughout the year to transact business and to enjoy social amenities. Guests, chiefly collectors, rare books librarians, and colleagues in the antiquarian book world, are frequently invited to meetings. In the course of its first seventy-five years, the club had 88 members and over 450 guests. Included in its membership have been many of the leading antiquarian booksellers in the northeastern United States.
