About

A brief history of the Columbia-Smith nonfiction book club of Los Angeles. 

The Columbia-Smith nonfiction book club started around 2001 or so when the Smith book club and the Columbia nonfiction book clubs merged.  We read nonfiction books.

 Initially, the club always met at the home of Bill & Ida Bucher.  Now we meet at a semi-rotating location, usually near the West LA / Santa Monica area.  We meet about every 1-2 months, usually on Sundays from 3-5 PM.  Click on the email link to ask about current location and meeting times.

We always welcome new members and being a Columbia or Smith alum is not a requirement.  Check out our list of current and possible future books, and if you are interested in joining send along an email or subscribe to our mailing list.

Our mailing list is run by Yahoo Groups.  All previous mailing list messages and other information about the group is archived there.
