A review of a publication by Ewa Dombek Potyczki bibliografa czyli bibliografia od kuchni (Warsaw 2015) that describes problems related to the work on a bibliography. The publication cites the Polish Bibliography from 1901 to 1939. The author describes problems that may arise during the development of the bibliography (establishing a correct name or pseudonym for an author, difficulties experienced while working on prints, off-prints, ephemerals, series etc.). The article draws attention to the fact of quoting biographies of some authors of works registered in the Polish Bibliography and also includes examples of bibliographic jokes in the reviewed book. The reviewed publication pictures the work of a bibliographer as interesting and intriguing.References
