The Masonic Book Club

The Masonic Book Club (MBC) was formed in 1970 by two Illinois Masons, Alphonse Cerza, 33°, and Louis L. Williams, 33°. The MBC primarily reprinted out-of-print Masonic books with scholarly introductions; occasionally they would print additional texts as “bonuses.” Westphalia Press is republishing the series for greater accessibility.
