    THE HUNDREDTH A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA & A HISTORY OF THE CLUB BY DAVID MAGEE 1958 PRINTED AT THE GRABHORN PRESS FOR THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA CONTENTS PREFATORY NOTE page v A HISTORY OF THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA page vii OFFICERS OF THE CLUB page xxv THE HUNDRED BOOKS page 1 ANNUAL KEEPSAKES page 55 MISCELLANEOUS KEEPSAKES page 71 QUARTERLY NEWS-LETTER page 74 INDEX page 75 copyright 1958 by the book club of california PREFATORY NOTE IBLIOGRAPHIES are seldom solo performances. A man’s name may appear on a title-page, but that tells only one half of the story. It is the purpose of this prefatory note to tell the other half. When I agreed to compile a bibliography of The Book Club of California publications, with an accompanying history of the Club, I thought I was in for a fairly easy job. I understood that the archives were in existence and, of course, on the shelves at headquarters were complete files of Club books, keepsakes, Quarterly News-Letters, etc. It should be simple, merely a matter of collating and checking and trying to make of a bibliography something more than a catalogue of titles. How wrong can a person be? To begin with, it must be understood that for many years the Club was run by amateurs, devoted, splendid citizens who attended monthly board meetings and when it was necessary gave generously of their time and energies for the welfare of the Club. But they were still amateurs, and so long as the organization was not in danger of collapse or actual decease they were content to let things jog along.

    8th 17 1837-2014 Australia Day Regatta Endorsed by Celebrating 92 YEARS OF BUILDING SUCCESS www.awedwards.com.au White Bay Cruise Terminal RAS Main Arena (Skoda Stadium) Newington College Liverpool Courthouse 8th 17 From the President This has been a time of double celebration for Sydney Harbour. In early October 2013, the International Fleet Review, which hosted ships from twenty nations, was a spectacular celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy and commemorated the arrival of the first seven ships on 4 October 1913. Today’s celebration on Australia Day reminds us of our history, honours those who contributed to that history and celebrates the foundation of our nation. In doing so, we acknowledge the first Australians and pay respect to the Gadigal and Cammeragil people, recognising them as having been fine custodians of Sydney Harbour. On this 178th Australia Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour, hundreds of sailors and their families will participate in a wonderful spectacle on one of the world’s greatest waterways. The Anniversary Regatta, as it was then known, commenced in 1837 just one year after South Australia was proclaimed a colony and before Victoria, Queensland or Tasmania (it was still called Van Diemen’s Land) were formally declared provinces. There is no better way to mark the birth of a nation surrounded by sea and developed through our great maritime heritage than by participating in the Australia Day Regatta. We welcome all those who have entered their craft, large or small, old or new. With the support of our host clubs they will celebrate Australia Day on more than 20 different waterways.
