The chapter was later reprinted in its entirety in the 'Incunabular Sherlock Holmes' (1958), resulting in several letters to the editor of The Sherlock Holmes Journal that, noting its similarity to an Andrew Lang piece of 1904, ranged from accusations of "literary osmosis" to outright plagiarism.

Both the binding and the jacket bear a George Allen & Unwin imprint. The Scholartis Press, founded by Eric Partridge in 1927, suffered its demise with the Great Depression and went bankrupt in 1931. Wild Flowers in Literature was likely the press's last book, bought up in sheets and published by George Allen & Unwin. Some copies have an Allen & Unwin cancel label on the title page and some have gilt stamping on the spine. Rendall's name on the spine of this binding is misspelled "Rendell.".
