In his Sensations of the Old Days, Roman Kaleta describes the Guide as follows:

"On Shrove Tuesday, 1926, the Bibliographical Guide appeared for sale [...] However graphically this print was deceptively similar to the periodical of the same title published by the Ossolineum and pretended to be a continuation of it with the numbering of new books (4310-4600) and pagination (pp. 489-508), a glance at the full metric of notebook 13 announced a humorous mystification."
