Following Powell’s death, his co-author and widow continued to publish the book. In her retirement she moved from Yorkshire to Somerset where fellow ringer Paul Williamson began assisting her and eventually took over responsibility for the book. In the 1970s Williamson transferred ownership of the title to Peter Sotheran, a ringer, printer and publisher in North Yorkshire. Since 2020 the book has been sold by The Ringing World.
