המהדורה הראשונה של עקבות בחול יצאה ב 1984 בהוצאת החברה להגנת הטבע.
הרעיון לכתיבת החוברת היה של יובל גורן אבל במהלך הכתיבה הוא החליט לנטוש כי נראה
לו שהוא לא תורם מספיק (ניסיתי לשכנע אותו להישאר אבל יובל עמד על דעתו). אז
המשכתי בכתיבה בדד. החוברת יצאה לאור (80 עמוד) ולא הייתה פאר היצירה מחמת חוסר
ניסיונו של הכותב אבל יצא לאור שוב כספר 10 שנים מאוחר יותר וברמה הרבה יותר טובה.
עקבות בחול' 140 עמוד בעברית צוטט פעמיים. המהדורה הראשונה יצאה ב
1984. ב 1993 פגשתי את עמיר אידלמן בתחנה המרכזית בבאר שבע, לאחר חילופי "מה
העניינים? " עמיר שאל אם אני מעוניין להוציא גרסה חדשה של 'עקבות בחול'.
שמחתי להזדמנות לשפר ובאותה שנה התחלתי לעבוד על המהדורה שתצא ב 1994. קיבלתי 12
משכורות עבור העבודה ושמרתי לעצמי את זכויות היוצרים. אף פעם לא חשבתי שהעבודה הזו
תשמש אותי בעולם המחקר כי נכתבה בעברית אבל כשהגיע רגע האמת ציטטתי וזה עבר בשלום.
מרגע שצוטטה במחקר יכולתי להוסיף אותה לרשימת הפרסומים שלי. לא מצאתי את אתר ההוצאה לאור אז הכנסתי קישור
לספרייה הלאומית שם מופיעה רק המהדורה של 1984. מי שרוצה להשיג את הספר במהדורת
1994 שהיא רחבה יותר ומפורטת צריך לפנות למדרשת שדה בוקר ההוצאה לאור דרך יגאל
גרנות. הספר לא מופיע באינטרנט להורדה אלא רק להשאלה בספריות או למכירה באתר סימנייה ודומיו.
