The talks were transcribed by meinichim, and then submitted to Rabbi Schneerson for editing. After being edited they were distributed in booklet form worldwide. They were later compiled into books, of which there is a set of 39 volumes. Vols. 1-9 are in Yiddish; vols. 10-14, in Hebrew; vols. 15-29 are in Yiddish; and vols. 30-39, in Hebrew. In particular, Yoel Kahn is noteworthy for having prepared the first nine volumes of Likkutei Sichos.
