Set of the 1st collective edition of Stanislaw Lem's works in 27 volumes, the first 3 volumes form the cycle "Time Not Lost", four first editions : "High Castle; Juvenile Poems", "Cyberiad", "Dissertations and Sketches" and "Supplement". The whole in a uniform binding according to the concept of Dariusz Pączkowski, maintained in the colors of black and red giving the effect of harmony, on individually made plywood lettering referring stylistically to the graphics of the title pages, card trims on the entire surface painted with the motif of the starry sky, on the black spines of the titles of books and the next number of the volume, the box (black outside, red inside) is "open" on both sides, so that the spines and verso paintings are visible. The bindings were made by the Librarium bookbinding workshop. "Magellan's Cloud" lacks a pre-title card, stamp in five titles, otherwise very good condition. An exceptional, individual set. From the book collection of Dariusz Pączkowski.
