The book was dedicated to William Gillette, Frederic Dorr Steele, and Gray Chandler Briggs.

The book was revised and expanded in 1960 and republished by The University of Chicago Press and again in 1993 by Otto Penzler Books. A paperback edition of the University of Chicago edition, with a new introduction and epilogue, was published by Pinnacle Books in 1975.Pinnacle Books, New York, 1975
