Mehl liked it so much, he published an offprint of the article the following year, with illustrations, in staple-bound white textured card covers. Not content with this reissue, he expanded it and republished it in 1935 (now under his copyright), in a slightly larger size, in gilt-printed blue textured card covers hand-tied with gold string. Molyneaux was chief editorial writer of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and a well known bibliophile.
