In his most forceful objection to Watson's plans for publishing The Double Helix, Crick here stated that "if I had known that you were going to write the sort of book you have written I would never have collaborated with you." In contrast to what Crick regarded as Watson's self-seeking attempt to cater to the public taste for gossip, Crick insisted "that I have always avoided all personal publicity."
