Cosby further elaborated on his attempts to find Spanish fly, in his book "Childhood". The book was published in 1991 by Putnam. In its review of the book "The Columbus Dispatch" noted Cosby's story about Spanish fly "ventures a bit beyond" childhood. "Dayton Daily News" wrote that Spanish fly is described in Cosby's book as a type of "wonder drug". In 1994, "Greensboro News & Record" reported Cosby told a story that in his youth he tried to purchase Spanish fly from a member of the military but it turned out to be cornstarch. In a 1991 interview with Larry King, Cosby again joked about usage of the drug on women.
