The Double Helix was published in 1968 and was immediately hailed for its personal perspective on scientists, their ambitions, and their interrelationships with their peers. At the same the time the book was highly controversial, so much so that Harvard University Press refused to publish the work after protests from both Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins. The best-seller continues to captivate the public to this day, and as such it has been translated into over 20 languages, including Malaysian, Bengali, Estonian, and Hebrew. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Library and Archives is home to all of these translations, as well as numerous files related to the publishing of The Double Helix.
