EMBLEMS & PINS OF MINIATURE BOOK CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
By Yaroslav KostyukMany associations of miniature book
lovers have bylaws, membership cards,
seals, forms, etc. The most expressive ele-
ments of an association are the emblem, pub-
lishing logo or pin. These elements represent
a certain interest not only for collectors, but
also for historians, when a club or society
ends its existence. Under the word
"emblem" we mean the logo or
symbolic image. In this article, I present data
about the Clubs & Societies and their
emblems, logos and pins. These data are
based on publications in specialized editions.
Other information was received "first-hand"
from many collectors in different countries. I
express my gratitude to everyone who has
informed me about a history of the creation
of club emblems, publishing logos and pins.
EM LEMS OF CLUBS N THE
USSR AND RUSS/A
In June, 1971 a group of seven enthusi-
asts created the "Moscow Club of Miniature
Book Lovers" (MCMBL) with Pavel
D.Pochtovik elected as first Chairman. On
December, 27th, 1971, the design of the pin
was developed by Moscow artists, G.
Kazakovtsev and A. Zavjalov. The following
year, 940 pins were made. It is a rectangular
pin, 11mm x 15 mm (W x H), with
the thumb & forefinger to keep the tiny book
open.

Books Lovers".Pin, 1972.
In 1996, for the 25th anniversary
MCMBL a pin was made, similar to the pre-
vious one, but larger (15x26 mm, W x H), and
with an added "25", at the bottom.

In 2002, at the Bylaws meeting of the
MCMBL, variations of the club logo were
considered. Artist Anatoly I. Kalashnikovmade an ex libris especially for MCMBL and
on February, 15th, 2002, this was presented
to the club as an emblem. Around the sides,
it says: "MOSCOW CLUB OF MINIATURE
BOOKS LOVERS", with a hand holding
many books.176~

After the creation of the Moscow Club in
1971, similar clubs began to appear in many
large cities and capitals of the former USSR.
Historically, we can trace the existence of
about 50 associations (large and small).Today,
in Russia, there are less than 10.
In March, 1977 in Perm, "The Section
of the Miniature Book" was created & head-
ed by Igor Ya.Dyudin. Later the section was
renamed "Perm Miniature Book Club".
There is an opened book, where a a bear is at
the bottom and on top, an opened book
inside the sun.\y1
