Historicky ustav ČSAV [Historical Institute, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences]
PHOTO BOOK ON THE 1968 INVASION OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA Sedm pražských dnů 21.-27. serpen 1968: dokumentace Seven Days in Prague: August 21-27 1968: a documentation
Prague: Historický ústav ČSAV v Praze 1968. Octavo 20.4 × 15 cm. Original printed black wrappers over blind white wraps; 6 IV 1 35 37-54 1 blank 55-494 pp and fifty-six unnumbered pages with photographic reproductions interspersed. Good; wrappers worn and creased; binding shaken but intact. First edition of this documentation in text and image of the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia which put a sudden end to the Prague Spring a period of political and cultural liberalization in the mid-1960s. The arrival of Russian troops on tanks on August 21 1968 heralded the onset of the so-called Normalization period presided over by Gustáv Husák and ended the political and cultural liberalization in the mid to late 1960s. Nearly 150 Czech citizens were killed during the invasion and many more wounded during protests. The response of the public was one of non-violent but active resistance: soldiers were misdirected street signs were removed food and water were denied the occupants and anti-Soviet posters and slogans appeared overnight. <br /> <br /> This compilation was published semi-legally and at considerable risk only a month after the invasion. To defend themselves against repercussions the publishers used the printed label "Studijní materiál - pouze pro vnitřní potřebu" "Study materials - only for internal use". Aside from detailed timelines of the memorable days eyewitness accounts newspaper articles including translations from foreign press and transcriptions of official Soviet and Czechoslovak documents the volume contains dozens of photographs taken during the invasion. They show the movement of planes and tanks the faces of Czech politicians protests and demonstrations as well as the posters and handbills circulated in the immediate aftermath including many anti-Soviet banners and graffiti. The book was distributed in samizdat copies and quickly forwarded abroad: an English version edited by Robert Littell was published in 1969 with the title The Czech Black Book. unknown

Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences
BYLAWS OF THE TYPE FOUNDRY OF THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Postanovleniia Tipografii i Slovolitni Imperatorskoi Akademii nauk s prisovokupleniem form sÑhetovodstva i otchetnosti. Utv. 1 avg. 1841 gd. Decrees of the Printing Office and Type Foundry of the Imperial Academy of Sciences: supplemented with the forms for accounting and recordkeeping. Approved on August 1 1841
St. Petersburg: Akademiia nauk 1841. Octavo 23.2 × 14.5 cm. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards; VII 3 III 1 94 2 IV 79 5 III 1 22 pp. including numerous folding leaves containing charts and tables pagination of copies in Russian libraries usually given as 224 pp. which corresponds to our copy. Pictorial bookplate with illegible pencil name to front pastedown last part of the name: Rostovtsev; traces of old paper cover to corners of pastedowns and flyleaves; old Soviet bookstore stamp to rear pastedown; spine somewhat worn and discolored with fraying to lower spine; internally about very good save the occasional foxing. The introductory excerpt taken from an official protocol suggests that this volume of bylaws was issued in response to significantly changes at the printing shop of the Imperial Academy of Sciences which was originally founded in 1729. An increasingly complex infrastructure faster presses and greater demand required careful training of new employees and greater standardization of processes. By 1841 the Academy was able to print books and periodicals in 120 languages while also issuing various internal bulletins and publications. The year 1841 also saw the transformation of the Russian Academy into the Imperial Academy of Sciences further necessitating greater codification.<br /> <br /> The first section contains the printing shop's statutes describing its tasks main tools and methods duties of employees rules for keeping accounts dispensing materials security measures the processing of printing orders and proper storage of type among many others. Supplements include charts with information such as a personnel directory ranks and dresscode for workers as well as detailed prices for typesetting and printing orders. This is followed by a separate section of bylaws for the Foundry itself followed by charts containing information such as the required number of type characters for Russian French and German sorted by letter number and weight. Further included are various blank forms for use in keeping accounts personnel records tracking orders and creating reports. A fine-grained glimpse into the workings of an important Russian publisher and foundry in the first half of the nineteenth century as well as a window into bureaucratic and administrative habits at the time.<br /> <br /> Among the works published by the printing house of the Academy were such milestones in Russian scholarship as Mikhail Lomonosov's "Rossiiskaia grammatika" 1755 Aleksandr Sumarokov's "Trudoliubivaia pchela" the "Sankt-Peterburgskie vedomosti" and various dictionaries and scientific journals. Specimens of available typefaces were published several times in the second half of the nineteenth century such as in 1765 1870 and 1874. Adariukov also lists a specimen issued in 1841 consisting of 43 pp. He refers to all typography-related publications by the Academy as being of the greatest rarity.<br /> <br /> No copies traced at past auctions either in the West or in Russia.<br /> <br /> As of September 2025 no copies located via KVK OCLC. unknown
