Kaplan's response was published on page 44 of Genii 1971 September. In 2019 an expanded 2nd edition was published by Lybrary.com. Warren J. Kaps added source references, credits, and additional routines and variations. The original illustrations by Frances Rigney have been preserved, and additional illustrations for new content have been created by Tony Dunn. The second edition is available as ebook and hardcover.
