, "In 1936 GKW published several books carefully embossed by the National Printing House in Cracow, which deserve to be called a fine book. These are Poems about Marshal Pilsudski by K.Iłłakowiczówna and Under the Belvedere by J.Kaden-Bandrowski, decorated with original woodcuts and vignettes by both artists, and The Adventures of Sindbad the Sailor by B. Lesmian with illustrations made in hand-colored etching and artistically embossed binding. The effort of the designers of the latter item was met with great favor by its author.''
