Title: Polish Cold War Neon
Authors: Ilona Karwinska
Publisher: Mark Batty
Year: 2011
ISBN: 9781935613350

Description:
Designed and built by prominent architects, graphic designers, and artists and overseen by a chief graphic designer, Polish neon signage was renowned for its outstanding technical and artistic qualities.
Today, most of the neon signs are gone, too expensive and fragile to maintain; belonging to no one, all that remains of them are their ghostly weathered "shadows".
Polish Cold War Neon tells the fascinating story of neon in Poland by preserving and celebrating the remnants of this rich and influential history and reveals an untold story of Poland and how a communist bureaucracy helped shape the future of graphic design and typography.
