In 1977 Legman published the Second Series of limericks.  It appeared first with the title The New Limerick and later as More Limericks. Since pirating Legman's first limerick book, The Limerick, was so profitable, the same publishers were eager to pirate the second although, unlike the first, it was copyrighted.

Although I have not seen all the copies of The (Color) Book of Locker-Room Humor, there is a possibility that they all include Legman's work.
