Publications presenting the region covered by the municipality of Nova Gorica have so far consisted of two anthologies and one monograph. The publication of the Goriski zbornik of 1957 was a celebration of the first decade after the annexation of Slovene Primőrje to Yugoslavia. A typical anthological edition, the Goriski zbornik dealt with the entire territory covered by the Gorica district of the time. Eleven years later a similar anthology was issued, to coincide with celebrating twenty years from the start of building in Nova Gorica. This publication contained much material about the municipality of Nova Gorica, from its establishment in 1952 onwards. The third decade of annexation was commemorated by the monograph „The Municipality of Nova Gorica 1947-1977".

Publications presenting the region covered by the municipality of Nova Gorica have so far consisted of two anthologies and one monograph. The publication of the Goriski zbornik of 1957 was a celebration of the first decade after the annexation of Slovene Primőrje to Yugoslavia. A typical anthological edition, the Goriski zbornik dealt with the entire territory covered by the Gorica district of the time. Eleven years later a similar anthology was issued, to coincide with celebrating twenty years from the start of building in Nova Gorica. This publication contained much material about the municipality of Nova Gorica, from its establishment in 1952 onwards. The third decade of annexation was commemorated by the monograph „The Municipality of Nova Gorica 1947-1977". The photomonograph about the Nova Gorica municipality that will reach the public during the year in which forty years will have passed since the building of Nova Gorica began is not modelled on any of the previous publications and is similar to other editions prepared by Motovun Publishing House about several other towns and regions in Slovenia and Yugoslavia. Cognizance of the popularity of the previous editions led to the preparation of this one, whilst a further decade is a sufficiently long period to warrant an appropriate publication. Though not an anthology, the photomonograph is equally not a universal, synthetic review of a certain period passed through by one of Slovenia's municipalities. The account of the Nova Gorica region presented here spans the characteristics of its natural surroundings, its past, together with a description of the present era, indisputably a reflection of the forty years since the annexation of Primorska to Yugoslavia. In fact, right from that day in June 1948 when the foundation stone was laid for the future hub of the Yugoslav section of Posocje. The book consists of text and photographs. The first was contributed by the writer in close collaboration with the editorial committee, the second came from the members of Nova Gorica's Photo/Film Club. The authors of both sections wanted the most originál and at the same time the most complete review of the Nova Gorica region as a whole. Its present geographical delineation, contradictory in much with its historical definition has frequently disturbed the textual or photographic presentation of the area, although its territorial variety literally invites written and artistic treatment. For readers to find this monograph available after over a year of preparation is undoubtably essentially due to the efforts of the Nova Gorica Municipal Council, those of the publishing house and, of course, those work organizations that acknowledged the advantages of such an offer, their advance orders contributing to publication during the year when the hub of the municipality — Nova Gorica — celebrates its fortieth jubilee.
