Description:

The book by the well-known bibliologist and bibliophile Janusz Dunin is part of his research on the development of book forms. The first study in this series was Paper Bandy ta (1974), which is a synthesis of the history of fair and cobblestone prints. The author also dealt with various aspects of the bibliophile book and the interdependence of publishing form and literary success. The present study is an attempt to present the history of the Polish book for the youngest in a functional combination of its literary, pedagogical, visual and technical elements.
