For its publications, the Club selects material relevant to its members' interests and strives to present it in appropriate and beautiful form. Three titles are planned each year, in limited editions, which are initially offered exclusively to members. Purchase is optional, and all first orders are filled before additional copy orders. The Club's publications are created by the foremost fine printers of the West.

BOOKS
One year from the Publication date, or sooner as determined by the Board of Directors, publications are available for purchase by non-members. The following books are in print:

BENJAMIN C. TRUMAN California Booster & Bon Vivant
By Gary F. Kurutz.

8vo, gilt-stamped cloth. 600 copies. The Grace Hoper Press, 1984. Publication No. 176, and first in the Literary Profiles series.

A lively and entertaining biography which recounts the checkered career of one of California's most articulate and prolific promoters, the author of Semi-Tropical California, Homes and Happiness in the Golden State and numerous florid newspaper articles. This is the first in a projected Book Club series dealing with authors whose contributions to the literary scene of the American West have been significant but largely uncelebrated.

By Adela Spindler Roatcap.

CHARLES AND KATHLEEN NORRIS: THE COURTSHIP YEAR.
Designed and printed on Mohawk Superfine paper by W. Thomas Taylor, 1993.

The edition of 400 was bound by Custom Bookbinders of Austin, Texas, in full Japanese cloth. Illustrated.

Charles Norris and his fiancée, Kathleen Thompson, exchanged daily letters during one year of their engagement, and Richard Allan Davison, noted Norris authority, has edited and arranged them to form a touching story. The Norrises were to become one of the most acclaimed literary couples of the era, but during the year he ventured to New York while she remained in San Francisco, they coped with a variety of practical problems--as well as with a difficult separation.

Publication No. 202.
Price $85.00

KEEPSAKE SERIES

Each year The Club issues and distributes, without additional charge to members, a series of keepsakes. The series of leaflets (usually twelve), illustrated monographs on various aspects of Western history and literature, has a different theme each year.

Members may purchase extra copies of Keepsakes or News-Letters, when available.
