The Grolier Club

Description

Bookworms and literature-lovers think of this place as heaven, thanks to its beyond-extensive collection of publications, its wide-ranging research library and its diverse public exhibitions (which are free). Books are treated as works of art, and have been since the club was founded in 1884. Its namesake, Renaissance collector Jean Grolier (who was born in 1489 and is one of the world's most renowned book lovers), would be proud.
