77 Posters/77 Plakatow, sees Polish film posters for British films paired with their original British counterparts. Stretching back to the mid-1940s the book includes posters for famous films such as Don't Look Now and Mona Lisa as well as more obscure titles.

While the British posters vary hugely in design over the decades, the Polish equivalents show a tendency for a more graphic style throughout. The book also reveals how the films were interpreted for the Polish audience, occasionally to comedic affect.

77 Posters / 77 Plakatów also contains a number of essays setting the posters in context, from academics including Ian Christie (Birkbeck College, London), Maria Kornatowska (PWSFTViT, Lodz), Marek Bartelik (Cooper Union, New York) and Patricia MacCormack (Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge).
