Tanya, printed by Zalman Shmotkin—Vilna 1937.
Likkutei Amarim Tanya by the Admor HaZaken, with Igeret HaTshuva and Kodesh, Vilna/Warsaw 1937.
Interestingly, the first title page has the location of printing as Vilna, while the second lists Warsaw at the bookseller Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin. Found in the Rare Books section of the National Library.
[1] 163 leaves. Tape on the title page and an additional leaf, tape on the last leaf with some missing text, otherwise very good condition.
Rabbi Schneur Zalman Shmotkin was a founder of the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva in Warsaw and served in its administration. He was also a member of the Ma’arechet HaTamim. At the end of his life he had a book business called “Beis Mechiras Sefarim Schneur”. After the Rayatz left Russia, he gave him a number of boxes of religious manuscripts. When a fire broke out in his home destroying all of his possessions, Rabbi Shmotkin was able to save the Rebbe’s manuscripts at the expense of his personal wealth, which caused the Rayatz great satisfaction. He died al kiddush hashem in 1942.
