At the end of the introduction to volume 12, the publisher wrote:

From the time the Alter Rebbe took upon himself the leadership of Chabad Chassidus, a system of private audiences (yechidus) began, where chassidim would receive instructions and guidance from the Rebbe. When the number of chassidim grew and it became impossible to receive everyone for yechidus, the Liozna regulations were issued, limiting travel to the Alter Rebbe. After several years, the Tanya was published, and in the introduction the Alter Rebbe wrote that this book includes:

When the number of chassidim grew and it became impossible to receive everyone for yechidus, the Liozna regulations were issued, limiting travel to the Alter Rebbe.

"Answers to many questions which all our loyal followers in our country constantly ask for advice... and there is no longer time to respond to each person regarding his question in detail, and forgetfulness is also common, therefore I have recorded all the answers to all the questions."

Similarly, one can say regarding the printing of these letters: For many years, the Rebbe received thousands of people for yechidus, and simultaneously wrote many letters to all corners of the world. Both in yechidus and in letters, answers were given in all areas of life. And now, in recent years when the number of chassidim has grown, and it is no longer possible to continue with the system of 'yechidus', we merit the printing of volumes of Igros Kodesh, through which we will know the Rebbe's opinion on every matter.

The Alter Rebbe continues in his introduction to Tanya: "And whoever's understanding is insufficient to comprehend advice from these booklets should express his concerns to the elders in his city, and they will explain it to him." Similarly, one can say today that those who "make for yourself a Rav" will give their answers based on the Rebbe's words that have been published in the 'Igros Kodesh' series.
