In a foreword to this third book it is commented that:

"L'Arétin français, followed by Les Epices de Vénus, first appeared in 1787, then in 1788, then in 1803, 1829, 1830 and 1869.

Copies of all these editions have since become almost impossible to find.

The original edition contains a curious frontispiece, eighteen engravings for the postures, and one engraving for the Spices.

The edition, s. 1. n. d., published in 1788, has fine proofs, but they are turned over. The latest editions have no artistic merit: the figures are poorly engraved and rather badly printed..."
