What books would you recommend to read about the liturgy (theology, history, liturgical movement etc.)? So far, I've read books only in my native language (Polish), but I saw that a lot of old publications never been translated. Also some modern (value) books are still not available.

LausTibiChriste

Dom Gueranger's books The Liturgical Year and The Holy Mass would be a god starting off point. You can easily find them for free on the internet.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son Of God, Have Mercy On Me A Sinner

"Nobody is under any moral obligation of duty or loyalty to a state run by sexual perverts who are trying to destroy public morals."

"Not trusting your government doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist, it means you're a history buff"

VeraeFidei

Durandus a.k.a. Bishop William of Durand's Rationale of the Divine Offices is the pre-eminent text on the Western Liturgy.
