The Zamorano Club is a bibliographic and manuscript collecting society in Los Angeles, California. It is the oldest organization of its type in Southern California. It was founded on January 25, 1928. It was named after Agustín V. Zamorano who brought the first printing press to California. The club hosts lectures and publishes books.
