The Club of Odd Volumes is a private book club founded in 1887 in Boston, Massachusetts. It was established by a group of bibliophiles who shared a passion for collecting rare and unusual books. The club's name reflects its focus on unique volumes that are often overlooked by mainstream collectors. Members of the club meet regularly to discuss their collections and share insights about literature and publishing. The club also maintains a library that houses its members' rare books, fostering a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate the art of book collecting and the history of printed works.
