Publication History
Due to Rabbi Gaguine’s numerous professional duties, a persistent lack of funding, and his somewhat early death, 47 years passed between the publication of the first and last volumes of Keter Shem Tob. This contributed to a slow dissemination of the work, which was not available for purchase as a complete set for decades. Yet in spite of these setbacks, it remains a classic of halakhic and minhagic literature, with a great deal of interesting content that can be found in no other book.
