This edition contained an epilogue by co-author Tedd Thomey, commenting on Florence Aadland's life and death, and her imprisonment. The Big Love was republished, along with supplemental materials, in 2018 by Spurl Editions.

The book was reviewed by William Styron, a reprint of which appears in This Quiet Dust, and Other Writings.
