<<THE FIRST TEHILLIM PRINTED IN ZHITOMIR WITH THESE COMMENTARIES. >> Books printed by the Shapira press are especially sought after by Chassidim as the printers were descendents of R. Pinchos of Koretz. It is felt that an aura of holiness pervades those books produced by members of this printing family.
