Later, the book was advertised in 1952 with 'How to Get Along with Girls' (using a very similar advertisement) and in 1954-56 with 'How to Write Love Letters', both from Plaza Book Co, New York. It was advertised in various comics across the Charlton range. A later 1959 edition was published as 'How to Get Along with Boys including Husbands' (Plaza Book Co).
