Thanks for the warm welcome!
ReplyDeleteThe book is in fact a compendium (or rather, a selection) of the Chabad library's publications over the past many years. This picture particularly has actually been used in Chabad circles for a while already.

i've used the library extensively. an unbeleivable treasure.
bibliographical data is available here:
