Nie do druku. Migawki z życia drukarzy książki zakazanej 1977-1989
Against People’sPoland. Glimpses from the Life of the Printers of Forbidden Books 1977-89

Summary/Abstract: This text is an introductory sketch to apresentation of so-called second circulation printing in the Pe- ople’sRepublic of Poland. Maintained in the style of an historical essay, it depicts scenes from the life of underground printers working for the opposition both in Warsaw and in smaller centres. With the assistan- ce of selected examples and generalising commenta- ries, the author shows certain motivations, stands and experience as well as the conditions of the develop- ment and infrastructure of printing. The research was conducted by applying historical methods, and the analysis embraces archival source material from the underground press and reminiscences, including ac- counts by the participants of the independent publi- shing movement. Pertinent bibliography has been re- duced to historical publications, rarely supplemented with loose observations from other domains.
