Publishing and bookshop catalogues are one of the most important sources of information about the book market. They are becoming increasingly important when they originated in publishing and bookshop institutions that have no longer been in existence and yet are significant for the entire publishing movement. Quite often they are the only source of information about titles, authors and companies. The paper discusses printed publishing and bookshop catalogues of Polish entities in the book market, functioning in Western Germany in the years 1945-1950. Attention has been paid to their layouts, graphic design, and contents.
