The Club of Odd Volumes, Private library in Beacon Hill, Massachusetts, United States
The Club of Odd Volumes occupies a historic building at 77 Mount Vernon Street, maintaining collections of rare books and antiquarian volumes.
Founded in 1887 by twenty Boston book collectors, the club took inspiration from the Sette of Odd Volumes, an English bibliophile dining organization.
The library hosts regular lectures and exhibitions focused on literature, bringing together authors, collectors, and scholars in specialized discussions.
Membership remains limited to 87 individuals, primarily consisting of professionals associated with Boston universities, museums, and research institutions.
The term odd in the club name derives from eighteenth-century terminology, referring to various or unmatched volumes in book collections.
