Description

A book in Polish language with a beautifully designed art deco cover includes a study and results of experiments on the importance of the book design for the reader’s perception of the text. The author was a polish educator Hanna Dobrowolska (1907-2001), who wrote the book still as a student.

During WWII, Dobrowolska joined the resistance during the Warsaw uprising and joined the Allied camps in Germany after the war. In 1947 she moved to England, where she changed her name to Anna Bogusławska, and continued her career as an educator of mostly Polish language.

We could only find one example outside Polish libraries (University of Minnesota).
