New York: Privately Printed, 1937. Slight toning to board edges, some fraying at ends of spine and corners. Folio. 62 pp., 3 pp. Index. Original blue cloth, lettered in white on front cover. This scarce privately printed membership log of legendary nightclub El Morocco documents its many famous members, including Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks, Franklin Roosevelt, and other notables. the index is keyed to each page and the captioned portrait photographs.
