Prague: ?eskoslovenské úst?edí kni?ní kultury v nakl. Orbis, 1964-1965. Small quartos (30 × 21 cm and 26 × 20 cm). Original staple-stitched pictorial wrappers; ca. 33-48 pp. per issue (consecutive pagination). Numerous illustrations, some in color. Summaries in Russian, English, French, and German. A few issues with minor wear t…o wrappers; overall very good. Complete run in twenty-four issues of this short-lived, but significant journal of book culture. Published by the patronage of the Ministry of Culture, it contained a curious combination of information about book publishing, editing, printing, literature, and the arts, but was in fact a way of devoting considerable attention to artistic and literary phenomena not otherwise covered in Czechoslovak official publications at the time. Individual issues were typically devoted to a single artist or illustrator, such as Albín Brunovský, Old?ich Hlavsa, Ota Jane?ek, Stanislav Kolíbal, Zdenek Seydl, Zden?k Sklená?, Josef ?íma, Jaroslav ?váb, Jan Zrzavý, as well as Willi Baumeister, Marc Chagall, and Pablo Picasso. Crucial was the journal's lengthy focus on Karel Teige as a graphic designer (in issue 3, 1964). The editors were also interested in the relationship between literature and the visual art, and the journal's literary editor was a leading figure of Czechoslovak concrete poety, Josef Hir?al, later assisted by Ji?í Kolá? in the final issues. The journal was clearly similar to another important cultural periodical of the time, Tvá?: kulturní m?sí?nik (The face: a cultural monthly), which also resisted the Communist party line in its exploration of aesthetically diverse and politically controversial topics, and was forced to shut down at the same time. In 1966, the Czechoslovak Center of Book Culture replaced the present journal with the more straightforwardly marxist literary journal "Impuls." Overall graphic design by J. Kotík (1964) and M. Fulín (1965). Published with a print run of 3000 copies. See the entry in the Dictionary of Czech Literature After 1945 (Slovník ?eské literatury po roce 1945, online, authored by Blahoslav Dokoupil). As of October 2024, KVK, OCLC show a handful of holdings in North America, though most appear to consist of only a few issues, and in some cases only a single issue.
