Any of you read the TLS? An informant told me via email that ‘apparently’ there is a review of the Fashionable Dictionary in the latest one, but that it doesn’t seem to be available online. I asked a few questions, such as who wrote it, but the informant didn’t answer, so I’m thinking it was probably a joke. I love jokes. So – if any of you do read the TLS – is there a review of the DFN in there? Silly of me to be so curious, I know, but – well it’s probably an American thing.
TDOFN is reviewed on page 32 of this week’s edition, under the rubric ‘In Brief’.
Used to subscribe but don’t any more, but the contents page is available free of charge on line at:

Congrats anyhow!
Thanks, Cathal!
(I did find the contents page, but my computer had a snit and refused to open it. I blame Bill G.)
Ophelia, the DFN is reviewed by Toby Lichtig, who is on the staff at the TLS. He likes it: “With wit and invention, Benson and Stangroom take us through the checklist argot that so often litters postmodern texts.” He also namechecks your “entertaining website”.
Thanks very much, Jonathan. Very helpful!
