A true bookshop,
not a bookstore
Bookstores, a publishing house, a literary magazine. The Tymoteusz Karpowicz Foundation. Three locations, one book truck, and one hundred events a year.

Tajne Komplety is a project that began with one conviction: that a true bookstore is not a marketplace for trout, but a place where someone thinks for you – and is worth trusting. For over fifteen years, we have been building precisely this kind of trust.
We operate as the Tymoteusz Karpowicz Foundation – named after the Wrocław avant-garde poet who, throughout his life, posed questions to literature for which there were no easy answers. His name is not merely decoration for us. It is a commitment.
since 2010
WE SERVE LITERATURE
Over fifteen years in the independent market. Long enough to know what we're doing.
3 places
IN WROCŁAW AND GDAŃSK
Rynek, Kino Nowe Horyzonty and Gdańsk - each of our bookstores has its own character, but the same view on literature.
Book Truck
ONE OF THE FIRST IN POLAND
We built it in 2021. One of the first independent book selling points in Poland - we attend festivals and go wherever we're invited.
about 100
EVENTS OF THE YEAR
Author meetings, workshops, shows, premieres. One event every four days - because literature doesn't wait for a better moment.
I say: I was,
and it's incredible.
— TYMOTEUSZ KARPOWICZ (1921-2005), FOUNDATION'S PATRON
NEW • RECOMMENDED BOOK
What comes to mind?
The book "What Comes to Mind?", illustrated with original artwork, examines selected mental disorders from a cultural, historical, and sociological perspective. It debunks myths and stereotypes that have accumulated around mental illnesses over centuries—and does so in an accessible and reassuring way.

Our Locations
The best book conversations happen at the counter, not in the comments. Drop by – we have coffee, we have a selection, and we have an opinion on every topic.
