The handmade mock-up of the book presented here is an author's edition of photographs that the photographer prepared as a publishing proposal. The mock-up was prepared together with Piotr Mystkowski. In 1967 the book Beauty of Sport (Wydawnictwa Artystyczne i Filmowe, Warsaw) by Pawel Mystkowski was published, which has a slightly different layout than the presented mock-up, but is visibly inspired by it. "It is probably a universal album - having both value for the sports enthusiast and for the man who stands aloof from sport," writes Bohdan Tomaszewski in the introduction to the album.
