Following serialisation, Casterman collected together and published the story in book form in 1941; the last black-and-white "Tintin" volume to be released. For this collected edition, Hergé thought of renaming the story, initially considering "The Red Crab" (to accompany earlier adventures "The Blue Lotus" and "The Black Island") before re-settling on ("The Crab with the Golden Claws"). Hergé became annoyed that Casterman then sent the book to the printers without his final approval. Nevertheless, as a result of ""'s publicity, book sales markedly increased, to the extent that most of the prior "Adventures of Tintin" were reprinted as a result. German authorities made two exceptions: No reprinting of "Tintin in America" or "The Black Island" because they were set in the United States and Britain respectively, both of which were in conflict with Germany.
