An analysis of the 19 volumes of Studia o Książce [Book Studies] (1970–1993) as well as the surviving archive editorial materials has enabled the author to present the changing editorial team and profile of the journal, its authors, and to examine this bibliological journal in terms of the topics it tackled (various sections with their content) and formal-editorial features (layout, illustrations, sources of financing, size, number of copies, price). The author has analysed the concepts of the journal’s main authors as well as the editorial team’s plans, and has compared them to what the editorial team managed to accomplish.
Professional and scholarly periodicals aimed at library professionals undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the development of librarianship and the evolution of book science. Therefore, the purpose of the article was to outline a panorama of the journalism of the library community in the Czech lands in the 1st half of the 20th century. The reasons for the creation of individual titles, their creators, structure and other formal elements were presented. The subject matter of four professional periodicals was also addressed: "Českeho knihovnictví", "Kniha", "Knih a knihoven" and "Časopis Československých Knihovniků" and one scientific journal - "Slovanská Knihověda".
