The Zamorano Club of Los Angeles celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its founding on January 25, 1978.  The Board of Governors authorized the publication of this volume to recognize this anniversary.  The custom of giving and receiving keepsakes among members of a club dedicated to collecting and preserving books of worthwhile literature, fine printing and binding, and the graphic arts in general was a part of the Zamorano Club from the beginning.  This volume is an attempt to document the complete list of keepsakes done for the members of the Zamorano Club from the beginning through 1978.
