The book was originally published by H. W. Wilson Company in 1933, weighing in at 757 pages and selling for $3.50.[2] The book was created by Joseph Nathan Kane, a freelance journalist who had assembled 3,000 "firsts" into a text that had been rejected by 11 other publishers before it was accepted by its current publisher. The book became a library reference standard.[3][4] The first edition led to a 1938–39 radio show hosted by Kane on the Mutual Broadcasting System.[5] The second edition of the book was published in 1950, the third in 1964, the fourth in 1981 and the fifth in 1997.[6] The sixth edition (1,300 pages) was published in 2006, and the seventh edition (1,400 pages) was published in 2015.[7] See also
