Summary/Abstract: In 2020, the publishing house of the Museum “Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park in Chorzów” published a book presenting the results of several years of work on pipe production in the village of Zborowskie, in the Lubliniec County. A starting point for the conducted studies were archeological excavations in the neighborhood of a historic building, which is considered to be a relic of a former pipe factory. The discussed publication is a collection of texts prepared in Polish, with short summa-ries in English The interdisciplinary nature of the studies makes the book go beyond the scope of a typical monograph of a site or object. Materials presented in it and a rich compilation of the cited literature may also be¬come a reference point for further studies on the issue of pipe production and distribution in this part of Europe, as well as a valuable source of information for researchers and enthusiasts of local history.
