According to science fiction fan and author Mike Resnick, "It's not even a sequel, but rather a continuation, of All Our Yesterdays, heavily illustrated, obviously written by the same hand, chock full of the anecdotes that almost instantly become fannish legend."{{cite web|last=Resnick |first=Mike |title=The Literature of Fandom |work=Jim Baen's Universe, 11 Vol 2 Num 5 |date=February 2008 |url=http://baens-universe.com/articles/The_Literature_of_Fandom |access-date=March 1, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090430184534/http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/The_Literature_of_Fandom |archive-date=April 30, 2009 }}

It was originally published by Joe Siclari in a three-volume, mimeographed Fanhistorica Press edition in 1977. SCIFI Press brought out an expanded hardcover edition ({{ISBN|0-9633099-0-0}}) in 1992. The members of the World Science Fiction Society voted that version the Hugo Award for Best Related Book.

Warner also wrote a related series of historical columns called "All Our Yesterdays."
