Buyer's premium:

Sefer Igra d’Parka by the Admor Rabbi Zvi Elimelech Shapira of Dinov, printed during the Shoah. [1], 67 leaves. Worming holes throughout, worming damage in the first and last leaves. No binding. Mostly good condition.

The title page has a stamp of ownership of the Admor Rabbi Yehiel Yehoshua Rabinowitz, the Chelkat Yehoshua of Biala. The binding leaf has a note in pen: “Yitzhak Isaac ben Dina Mindel”—probably a student who gave the book as a gift to the Admor and notes his name for a blessing. Among the leaves was found a kvitl handwritten with a bakasha for prayer for complete health for “Rachel Braindl bat Sara (of the house of Zonnenfeld, daughter of the Grich)”—the rabbanit Rachel Braindl Friedman was the daughter of Rabbi Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld and married Rabbi Menachem Mendel Friedman.
