A Barbarian reviews TIOBE in Parenthesis 19

I've been told by Paul Razzell, North American editor for Parenthesis over at the Fine Press Book Association, that print copies of Parenthesis 19 will be showing up in member's mailboxes in a matter of days. For those who like sneak peaks, a listing of the contents and a few articles have already been posted on the FPBA website. In one of those bonus articles, Crispin Elsted, of Barbarian Press, reviews The Importance of Being Earnest from The Bowler Press. Here's the link.

Now that it has been referred to "as one of the bargains of the decade in fine press printing," I should note that Earnest is half sold, and several copies are still on tour with the Alcuin Society design winners. "Very few such opportunities present themselves — not even for ready money."
