JAWA motorcycles on flyers and brochures, Miloslav Straka
The book is the last part of a triptych mapping almost a century of history of the Czechoslovak motorcycle industry. After the publications With the ČZ brand and Pionýr, Babetta and co. on leaflets and in brochures, we are coming up with a rich offer of original, often unique printed materials of our world's most famous motorcycle brand. At first glance, it seems that this is a book mostly with pictures, with only an introductory text by the author. Thanks to the pre-war brochures aimed at the domestic market, there is a lot of interesting reading available in Czech. In addition to the necessary technical information with a product description, the reader will learn a lot about the lifestyle, customs and priorities of the society of the time. The book Jawa Motorcycles on Leaflets and in Brochures is intended for anyone who is interested in history, not just motorcycle history. We believe that it will also appeal to the younger generation by recognizing that thanks to our ancestors, Czechoslovakia was among the most industrially advanced countries in the world before the war. All three publications, thanks to their focus and the amount of rare information they contain, have the ambition to remain in libraries for future generations to see.
Pioneer, Babetta and Co. …on leaflets and brochures, Miloslav Straka
Pionýr, Babetta and co. on flyers and brochures
...had to come. After the monument about Jawa by Libor Marčík and the book With the ČZ brand on leaflets and brochures, this publication brings in a similar form through a collection of often unique brochures and leaflets, a look into the history of the production of small motorcycles and mopeds. Slovak motorcycle production was an important integral part of the Czechoslovak motorcycle industry. It significantly enriched the range, including the now iconic machines such as the Jawa Pionýr and Babetta. Even though it used the Jawa brand for commercial reasons, it was an original production of Považské strojírny. The ambition of this book is to recall the history of the joint effort to maintain the tradition of motorcycle production in Czechoslovakia, and perhaps bring a little lesson to young readers.
TATRA 815 – a legend on posters and brochures, 1983-2024, Martin Kupec
Did you know that the TATRA 815 had superstructures for laying railway tracks, building bridges or handling scrap metal? All this and much more will be covered in a new book entitled: "TATRA 815 - a legend on posters and in brochures, 1983-2024", authored by publicist Martin Kupec. The book will feature, from his collections and the collections of his fellow collectors, brochures and posters of the original T 815, gradually modernized versions of the T 815-2, TERRN°1, TERRA, or variants such as the T 815-6 or JAMAL up to the T 815-7 FORCE. It will also include posters and brochures for the Paris Dakar, Tatra expeditions around the world and, in particular, various superstructures produced by other manufacturers, both existing and now defunct. The development of advertising will be supplemented with technical data, information on exports and other interesting facts. The introductory pages of a total of 17 chapters will also feature additional drawings of vehicles by the artist Ing. Arch. Jan Hlavín. The expert advisor is Ing. Milan Olšanský, a TATRA TRUCKS employee.
With the ČZ brand... on leaflets and brochures, Miloslav Straka
Česká zbrojovka was one of the pillars of Czechoslovak industry. In addition to arms production in the interwar period, it became famous as the Czech Motorcycle Works for the production of touring and sports motorcycles and scooters. The publication With the ČZ brand on leaflets and brochures introduces the reader to the production program of this famous brand, practically all manufactured models, through unique promotional prints and rare photographs. The story of the ČZ motorcycle brand, which spans almost three quarters of the twentieth century, is interwoven with many sporting successes, including seven firsts in the World Motocross Championship and valuable victories in the Six Days. In addition to their primary mission, these prints are valuable evidence of period graphic work and reproduction technology. The book will certainly delight not only experts in motorcycle history, but we believe that it will also appeal to the younger generation by learning about the respectable work and abilities of our ancestors, thanks to whom Czechoslovakia was among the most industrially advanced countries in the world before the war.

Tatra – Passenger Cars on Posters and Brochures 1945-1999, Martin Kupec
The Tatra limousines, produced between 1945 and 1999, had a special fate. Although they were always elegant cars with a unique technical concept, they carried a certain stigma with them. This was due to their almost exclusive purpose for a narrowly selected circle, especially political prominent people of the time. Even though these cars were not primarily sold on the regular market, their printed promotion in the form of brochures and posters was quite extensive. This resulted in many unique materials for domestic and foreign customers. And almost all of them have been concentrated in this book for the first time. A novelty in the publication this time is a total of 21 drawings, mainly of cars, by the artist Jan Hlavín, which introduce individual chapters and enrich the book artistically.
