Opus magnum of Polish bibliophilism : an extensive, extraordinarily richly illustrated description of an exceptional collection of polonica - the most valuable private collection in Poland, documenting the beauty of Polish books and more broadly the richness of Polish culture, and at the same time testifying to the author's love of Polish traditions and values and how they have been passed down through the generations. An unrivaled guide for both advanced and ambitious beginner collectors. Excellent condition, all on chalk.
