In December of 2007, Vintage Books issued the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of The Gift with a new preface, a new afterword (an essay on U.S. support for culture since World War II), a new design, and a new subtitle: Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World.

The Gift was originally published in 1983 in a hardbound edition from Random House and a paperback edition from Vintage.

In 2006 Canongate Books of Edinburgh, Scotland brought out an edition for the United Kingdom. (There was also a 1999 Vintage U.K. edition, now out of print.) The Canongate edition bears the title The Gift: How the Creative Spirit Transforms the World.
