Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. Early Edition from the Author's Lifetime, with Supplements

Kitzur Shulchan Aruch by Rabbi Shlomo Gantzfried, early edition with supplements and revisions by the author. Lemberg, by Avraham Nissan Ziss. 1870.

Fifth edition of the renowned sefer, printed by the author first in 1864, and since then printed in hundreds (!) of editions. This sefer, first printed in 1864, experienced enormous success, and a year later, almost all the copies were sold. In Sivan 1865, the author printed an announcement in the HaMevaser newspaper, published in Lvov, stating that the supply had been exhausted. He wants to publish another edition with "some revisions." He is therefore requesting that anyone with comments or corrections send them to him.

Even in the period immediately after the printing of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, it was said to have achieved the widest distribution ever, second only to the Tana"ch. The author's son-in-law wrote that there was no other sefer printed in so many editions and copies in the author's lifetime. 

The editions printed in the author's lifetime (certainly those with supplements) are considered important and sought-after.
