Help on Polish book from 1957

Ok, Need some help on this Polish book found at a auction!

What type of book did they print in 1957, it contains what looks like presidents
songs, it showed how people dressed in certain areas, it had recipes etc, the lists
goes on, and it was published in Poland.. it had history, etc, but it was sent to
new Jersey, then to Michigan to a lady who obviously passed away and someone
sold her stuff at a auction.

the book was under a bunch of pots and muffin pans which were sold as one big
item, and my friend found it and asked me about it.. I dont know, to me it appears
to be everything about Poland all in one little compact book, but it isn't really thick,
maybe about 300 pages tops. It was amazing to see something that was sent
from Poland with so much information in it.. thats why we want to know about it..

would anyone know what type of book this would be? like maybe a reference guide?
it had everything in it,, I am not kidding, from songs , recipes, presidents, secretarz
(remembered that word) and population etc.. when I see her again, I am going to
get the exact spelling on the front, and post it again.. it was amazing..

Could be an Informator Polonijny, which tells you everything you need to know about Poland in a quickie.

Krysia I will check that out, it was pretty cool. older book too. maybe this person
whom ever had it was going to visit Poland and wanted to read more about it?

I dont know, in any case, it was interesting. :)
