The review section opens up with Jiřina Veselská’s comprehensive review of the most recent encyclopaedic handbook: Stanislav Brouček - Richard Jeřábek (eds.): Lidová kultura. Národopisná encyklopedie (Folk Culture: Ethnographical Encyclopaedia). She summarizes media critique and highlights the encyclopaedia’s utility for museum workers and regional historians. Two other reviews focus on publications from a book series published by the department of European Ethnology at Masaryk University, Brno: Středověké a novověké zdroje tradiční kultury (Medieval and Modern Sources of Traditional Culture) by Daniel Drápala; and Agrární kultura.
