A Sefer by the Badchan R. Yankel Miller ספר יד משה של הבדחן ינקל מיללר

Yankel Miller, has made himself a name as a Badchen, but has also authored a fine rabbinic work, titled Yad Moshe, on the teachings of the Chatam Sofer.
Despite the seriousness of the book, some humor managed to enter his introduction, as in the page below. The volume states volume two, but volume one, was and will never be published. The author states that he will explain why he published vol II first, and will thank all those that assisted him in the publication in the introduction to volume one ( which he never intended to write).
