An essential source for the knowledge of the trade in printed books in the 15th century is the fragment of the German-written ledger of the Speyer publisher Peter Drach discovered in 1957 and made available for publication by the incunabulist Ferdinand Geldner (Dillingen, Studienbibliothek, Ms. XV 488). Important passages related to the Czech lands, including a list of Drach’s book-selling warehouses, have been reprinted and interpreted by Professor Ivan Hlaváček, who, however, has noted that the persons mentioned should be identified more precisely by means of local research. The author has prepared a new edition of the list of Bohemian and Moravian warehouses, in which he has slightly corrected some of Geldner’s readings and, above all, deciphered the name of Drach’s sales representative in Kutná Hora. The study provides a more detailed identification of the people in charge of the regional sales of the printed books imported by Drach’s Bohemian-Moravian commercial agent Johann Schmidhofer.

The author seeks to describe the book market environment and the booksellers’ community in Bratislava at that time. She therefore documents communication channels between booksellers in Bratislava and their colleagues in Germany (mainly in Leipzig, Halle, and Berlin).

The article described the publishing practices that were used by the publishers living in the 18th century. They were shown on the example of the activities of Georg Markus Knoch (1695-1759), one of the thriving acting Gdansk’s booksellers and publishers. Knoch was born in Wroclaw, made his first steps in the profession in Wittenberg. Then he arrived in Gdansk in 1728 where he opened the Bookstore on Piwna Street. He published approximately one hundred titles, several of which were title editions. Reissues of the title editions appeared in his publishing for a number of reasons. Most of the time, Gdansk‘s bookseller took over parts of the other publishers‘ titles; it happened due to their death, or due to the closure or change of the owner of the print shops. Wanting to get rid of some of the unsold copies of the books was the other reason of publishing some of his title editons. In this case he would have either lightly modified the editions, or he would have put the information on the title edition saying that it is an another issue, suggesting to potential customers that they are dealing with a completely new work, or that the first edition was a great success and it needed reissuing. Publishing practices used by Kanch show how often publishers in the 18th century were unable to sell many of the titles.

„Biblioteka Księgarza” to seria wydawnicza firmowana i prowadzona przez Stowarzyszenie Księgarzy Polskich, ale publikowana przez kilka różnych oficyn wydawniczych, takich jak Wiedza Powszechna, czy Państwowe Wydawnictwa Szkolnictwa Zawodowego. Seria ukazywała się w latach 1960−1965, obejmując łącznie dziewięć pozycji przydatnych w kształceniu przyszłych adeptów zawodu księgarza. Publikacje mają proste opracowanie graficzne wynikające z ich edukacyjnego charakteru. Ta kilkuletnia akcja wydawnicza została prawie całkowicie zapomniana, ale pozycje, które ukazały się w jej ramach, stały się dziś źródłem informacji o zasadach funkcjonowania placówek księgarskich PRL. Zamieszczone w poszczególnych opracowaniach informacje dotyczące m.in. schematu organizacyjnego Centrali Księgarstwa „Dom Książki”, organizacji sprzedaży wysyłkowej czy też zasad obliczania marży kolporterskiej mogą być wykorzystane przy omówieniu różnych zagadnień związanych z organizacją sprzedaży książek w minionej epoce.

Biblioteka Księgarza is the publishing series administered by the Association of Polish Booksellers, but published by various publishing houses such as Wiedza Powszechna and Państwowe Wydawnictwa Szkolnictwa Zawodowego. The series came out in the years 1960–1965 and included nine units useful in the education of future booksellers. The publications have a simple graphic layout. The series have been almost entirely forgotten, but the nine publications are now the source of information about how bookshops operated during the times of the Polish People’s Republic. The information, which may be used in discussions about various aspects connected with the sale of books in the communist times, concern the organizational composition of the Headquarters of Booksellers “Dom Książki”, the organization of mail order sales, and the calculation of the margin for distributors.

Die Veröffentlichungen unter dem Namen „Biblioteka Księgarza“ gehören zu einer Verlagsreihe, die vom Verband der BuchhändlerInnen in Polen herausgegeben wurde und in den Jahren 1960−1965 in verschiedenen Verlagshäusern wie Wiedza Powszechna oder Państwowe Wydawnictwa Szkolnictwa Zawodowego erschien. Sie umfasste insgesamt neun Publikationen, die bei der Bildung der künftigen BuchhändlerInnen behilflich waren. Sie zeichnen sich durch eine einfache Bildgestaltung aus, was aus ihrem bildenden Charakter hervorgeht. Diese Verlagsaktion, die einige Jahre hindurch dauerte, wurde inzwischen fast völlig vergessen, aber die Publikationen, die doch erschienen sind, gelten heute als Informationsquellen über die Buchhandlungen der Volksrepublik Polen. Die in den einzelnen Bearbeitungen angeführten Angaben u. a. zur Organisationsstruktur der Buchhandlungszentrale „Dom Książki“, zum organisierten Versandverkauf oder zur Berechnung der Austrägermarge können bei der Erläuterung verschiedener Fragen, die mit der Struktur des Buchverkaufs in der vergangenen Epoche verbunden sind, behilflich sein.
