Blahitka was the founder of the series “Sokil Library”, which published books on sports, engines and manuals for work in the society. In total, the 21st was published. Among them are books by I. Bobersky, S. Haiduchok, Y. Blahitka, E. Zhar¬sky, O. Valchyk, A. Prodan, V. Tykholіz, M. Tril’ and A. Favytsky.
