I want to tell you about my favourite Polish series of books: The Witcher by Andrej Sapkowski. He has creted a cycle of tales based on the world of the Witcher, which was published in fantasy literary magazine "Fantastylia", comprising 3 collections of short stories and 5 novels. The main character is Geralt, a mutant who has been trained since childhood to hunt down an destroy monsters for the moneyh. Agaionst all appearances he's very sensitive and governed by knightly code. Computer games of The Witcher created by CD Project Red are based on this series. I'm so happy that these books have been adapted by Netflix. Have you read this series of books? With best wishes. 7/5/17

I had many years this postcard, I didn't think I will find recipient. :) Plzen (Pilsen) town, where was printed oldest Czech book (maybe) - Historia Troiana, incanabulis by Johannes Gutenberg's followers.

“Hello Chris !
about the stamp - perfect answer is here:-)
http://bit.ly/2umDcPl
and second question about "muzeum knihtisku..." - http://www.mkkp.cz
It means "Museum of bookprinting and books in Pilsen", where the Kronika Troiana was printed.
I never visited it, but it is probably very small museum, founded by owners of printing company Nava and fans of old printing machines.
Plovární 20 is a street and number.
So, I hope I satisfied you:-) Now I´m packing my bag, tomorrow I´m flying with my family to Spain, Alicante. For 16 days:-)
Have a nice day.
