[California?], 1960. An 8-page booklet, stapled. Some creases, otherwise very good. A short anecdotal history of this august organization, written in a humorous and peculiar style. Reference is made to the bibulous beginnings of the group, but the author notes that in its modern incarnation it is less of a drinking society, and more of a historical one.

A bit of chipping to spine ends, some wear to tips, spine a bit tanned; in general, a bright very good copy, quite attractive. This is an American issue of a London, Jarrold & Sons edition, with a tipped-in American title page. The first edition was published by Jarrold in 1896, and had no illustrations. There was also a Colonial Edition published by Macmillan in 1896. We believe this to be the first American edition, though we have heard a rumour of an American 1899 edition with New York, Jarrold, title page. This is possibly derived from the 1899 Jarrold edition, the 'Fifth Thousand', which was illustrated. A lost-race tale, of a race of…
