The editor of the first edition was listed as Greg Bagdassarian, a pseudonym for Markar Melkonian. Monte did not have the chance to review final corrections before publication, however, and he immediately began writing a long series of corrections for a lengthy errata, which he asked the editor to distribute. These corrections were incorporated into the second edition, which was published posthumously. Monte never distributed the several copies of the first edition that he received. Ten years after his death, the book appeared in Armenian translation as Baikareloo Eeravoonku (Yerevan: Monte Melkonian Fund, June 2003).
