Description:
Compendium and guide to the antiquarian market in Poland. Also includes bibliography, index and summary.
"What we have here is a guide to the contemporary secondary book market in Poland. Nowhere yet have I encountered such a systematically elaborated concept of this issue, covering history and its contexts, people and institutions, and finally the substance - the ways of its acquisition, forms of sale and distribution. However, the author, describing extensively and carefully the whole phenomenon, does not stop at the purely technical aspect of it, but treats it as a cultural phenomenon, deeply rooted in reality. Moreover, he is aware of the diverse and unstable nature and quality of the assortment perceived not only as a collection of bibliographic items" (Prof. PhDr. Jiří Trávníček, M.A.).
