The Machzor of the "Steipler," Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky
The endpaper has a sticker that covers earlier owner notations. It bears the stamp of Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky of Bnei Brak, Shikun Chazon Ish. 
Rabbi Yisrael Yaakov Kanievsky (1899-1985) was a genius and righteous person. He was a leader of the charedi community in Israel and the author of the Kehillot Yaakov. He was called the "Steipler" per his hometown, Hornsteipel.
Original binding. Other than the loose endpaper and title page, the machzor is in very fine condition.
