Its objective was the 'literary study and promotion of the arts pertaining to the production of books' and 'the occasional publishing of books designed to illustrate, promote and encourage these arts.' One century later, the Club remains dedicated to this objective. It brings together a community of individuals who share the love of books and provides them a forum to educate one another about the history, production, and preservation of books; about the appreciation of the beauty of their content and design; and about the joys of reading them," from the 'Publication Announcement' which is laid in loose.
