The Collectable Book Gallery, located on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, is a place where books truly become works of art.
Its owners, Urszula Kurtiak-Ley and Edward Ley, publish books for true bibliophiles — hand-bound, illustrated by renowned artists and printed on long-life paper.
They've been involved with artistic bookbinding for three decades, and their unique creations, published in many languages and made to order, have found their way to private collections, national libraries, and art galleries the world over.
Their publications include the award-winning 'The Diaries of Adam and Eve' by Mark Twain, which takes the form of a framed painting, the flower-scented collection of Halina Poświatowska's poetry, and the augmented reality book 'Books & Gardens.'
