The invitation includes a note that the selection of books and 'biblia a-biblia' (non-books in book form) published in 1925 would be submitted for the ballot deciding which were to be 'crowned'. The menu includes a list of the books submitted and a list of dinners held during the year 1924-1925. The menu designer was George Wren Howard, for whom it was printed at the Chiswick Press. The menu consists of six printed pages within a green paper cover, with a title page design drawn by Percy Smith.
