At the end of the book an extensive bibliography (50 pages!) is included. Its scope is broad: it includes items on topics like the history of logic, its various branches, its controversies and its relationships to other areas. First of all items that are readable and understandable for beginners have been chosen. Nonetheless one finds there also some highly technical but classical items. Except for a couple of important works that have not yet been translated only works available in English were included. The material was organized in seven sections: general material, history of logic, textbooks, beyond text (logic videos, software, interactive websites), interdisciplinary, individual figures and topics, others. Being aware that such an extensive bibliography may be not fully useful for many beginners, the author suggests also a list of eight fundamental works for them. The book was published in a very nice and careful way. In particular all Polish names are printed in a right way using all diacritical signs—what happens not so often. The rich variety of parts of logic covered in the book makes it useful both for specialists (especially logicians, not only philosophers but also mathematicians and computer scientists) looking for information in areas outside their subspecialties as well as for a non-professional reader, in particular students and generally laypersons.
