The Chafetz Chaim would make sure to check every book that was printed for printing, for fear of theft and fraud. Each book that was examined received a handwritten inscription on the cover pages of the book "Muga". Many of these drawings have disappeared over the years due to the re-binding of the books or the deletion of the inscription.
