The aim of this study is to describe and examine eight typescript variants of Ludvík Vaculík’s novel Czech Dreambook. The analysis is part of the textological preparation for the forthcoming two-volume edition of Czech Dreambook in the Czech Library. It presents hitherto unanalysed and for the most part unknown typescript material, which provides a unique insight into the genesis of the text. The study shows the strategies used by the author in the reworking process and notes the variable extent of the documentary features.
