This extraordinary book was printed on hand-made salmon-pink paper in 499 copies. It’s been printed from hand setting at Przypkowski Museum in Jędrzejów. „The Queen of the Spring-time Tempests” is a part of Pawlikowska–Jasnorzewska’s myth, it’s a sign of enchantment with her unusual individuality. The book is an editorial gem, all in subdued rose colour, aromatized with white lily scent, bound in soft silk with illustrations full of soft eroticism. The dark-pink colour of the print and the aroma beloved by the poetess tell us a lot about her. This book as a medium brings us closer to her and gives us a better understanding of who she was.
