Not really a book this time but sheet music. All these were designed by Frantisek Zelenka, most of them for Voskovec, Werich and Jaroslav Jezek. Voskovec and Werich Are best known for their work in "The liberated theather" and a few movies (if you get the chance you should see "svet patri nam" a really good film). I escpecially like the design for the Jezek & Nezval ones, these are the ones designed in yellow and red. All these designs were made between 1932 and 1938.
Frantisek Zelenka is not really well known here in the west. If you ever have some spare time use this to search the internet for some information on him. He made some stunning designs for the theatre, interior and (as you can see below) sheet music. I'm not sure but i've never seen any book designs by him.
