Noam Elimelech, by Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, with Kedushat Levi on the Torah by Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdychiv [Russia-Poland, c. 1820-1840].
On the top of the title page of Noam Elimelech, the author's name is not written. Written instead: "The famous Mekubal Chassid G-dly holy man". And in the second paragraph as an aside his name is revealed to fill the sheet "We have first printed testaments by the author, the Rabbi Chassid M. Yechiel Michel" (the word author is bold) – apparently this is an attempt to mislead the reader into thinking that the author is Rabbi Yechiel Michel [of Złoczew]. Possibly, the printer was attempting to mislead the Russian censor since this edition was printed without a permit, without the printer's name or the place of printing and he possibly surmised that by this he is upgrading his merchandise.
This edition is the first edition of Hanhagot HaAdam by Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, mistakenly attributed to Rabbi Yechiel Michel of Złoczew due to this falsification.
The title page of Kedushat Levi has also no note of the name of the printer or the place or year of printing.
Signatures and ownership inscriptions in ancient handwriting of Rabbi Yechiel Michel Pinchas of Bobrka.
[1], 3, 5-91, 93-95 leaves. [1], 96 leaves. 23 cm. Fair-poor condition, spotting and worm damages. Wear, detached and worn leaves. Damaged contemporary binding.
This edition of Noam Elimelech is listed in Stefansky Chassidut no. 380 and in the Bibliography Institute CD Listing 00302008 as an edition from Russia-Poland, c. 1820. The book Kedushat Levi seems to have been printed together with the Noam Elimelech but is listed in the Bibliography Institute CD Listing 00174703 as an edition from c. 1840. Apparently, both books were printed together in Lemberg c. 1830-1840.

Beit Aharon, on the Torah and on service of G-d, by Rabbi Aharon Perlow the Karlin Rebbe. Brody, 1875. First edition. Two title pages.
At the beginning of the book is a collection of letters and Chassidic conduct by the dynasty of the Karlin-Stolin rebbes: Rebbe Aharon "HaGadol" of Karlin, his son Rebbe Asher (the First), his son Rebbe Aharon (the Second, "HaZaken") and his son Rebbe Asher (the Second, "HaTza'ir").
[3] leaves, 316 pages (without 5 additional pages at the end of the book). 24.5 cm. Poor condition. Heavy worm damages, detached leaves and worn binding.
Stefansky Chassidut, no. 82. Variant, copy of the first and rare edition.
Variations exist among the copies of the first edition which were corrected during preparation for printing. For example, printed on the reverse side of the second title page of this copy: "To know and reveal that in my possession are approbations given by the leading Torah scholars of the generation and holy individuals and also by Sephardic rabbis…". Some of the copies have a different version of this paragraph on a separate leaf. These variations indicate that this is an early edition of the book, especially rare. [See the article written by Rabbi A. Schorr about the manner the books Beit Aharon and Beit Aharon V'Yisrael were written and printed, Year 6 Issue 1 (31), pp. 139-187].
