He stated that his father the Admor used to look at them before the three prayers and Ker'iat Shema al Hamitah. He also stated that it was necessary and right that Chassidim have the three books and for obvious reasons, they should not be bound in a single volume and that they should be studied daily or at the very least, on Sabbaths and Yamim Tovim.  In the early days of his Nesi'ut, the Rebbe often referred to this Shicha of the Rebbe the Rayatz. He also requested that when one moves into an apartment, these three books should be the first to be put in it (from Chabapedia).
