"The Last of the Masters" was published over a year later, in the 1954 November/December issue of "Orbit Science Fiction" no.5. The issue was the last in a science fiction anthology series edited by Donald A. Wollheim. "Orbit Science Fiction" advertised "The Last of the Masters" on its cover and included Dick among an advertised list of prominent contributing authors, among them August Derleth, Gordon R. Dickson, and Chad Oliver. The novelette was republished in 1958 for the Australian market by Jubilee Publications Pty., in "Space Station 42 and Other Stories", a part of the "Satellite Series".
