WAŃKOWICZ Melchior - Soup on a nail. Warsaw 1967; Pax. 8, s. 389, [3]. Original fl. binding, wraps.
Prominent rubbing of the wraps, minor stains inside. Author's signature on title page. Owner's signature on front pastedown. From the information on the front cover: "This is a collection of weekly columns [...] from the last decade. We think that so many ingredients from the world, from travels, from American excesses, from clashes with émigrés, from comic confrontations with Polish reality, from clashes not only with writers [...] have been poured into this 'soup on a nail', that a whole has been created which is suspenseful and perhaps even - in spite of the author's objections - nutritious".
