About Cultural Wars Against Poland Boekreeks

Kulturele Oorloë teen Pole is 'n populêrwetenskaplike historiese boekreeks wat deur die Nasionale Sentrum vir Kultuur in Pole uitgegee word. Die reeks dek die tydperk vanaf die einde van die 17de eeu tot die eerste helfte van die 20ste eeu. 'n Baie growwe omslagpapier versterk die boodskap van oorlog, growwigheid en verwoesting. 'n Geskeurde-bladsy-motief op die omslae word deur blindstempeling gevorm. Die binnekant is in twee kleure gedruk, swart en intense rooi, met die rooi aksente wat verwys na die kleure van die Poolse vlag. Otabind-inbinding laat elke volume plat oopmaak vir makliker lees.
