Wherever you live in the world, you can join our friendly and ever growing community of book collectors and book lovers. You will become part of a global group of bibliophiles who have wide ranging interests – including fine and private press printing, binding and restoration, illustration, book history, bibliography and much more — and you will also receive:
- Newly published books, also free to members, usually one every two to three years
- Discounts on all our publications, including books and back issues of journals
- The Private Library, an illustrated quarterly magazine containing articles all about books
- Our quarterly Newsletter, details of events, lectures and library tours.
You can join at any time of the year and still receive everything published to date for that year. Members receive notice of membership renewal in the January newsletter, and membership runs from 1 January to 31 December.
