Everyone who has published under the conundrum press imprint (over 30 contributors!) has provided new material especially for the book. Of the size and weight to keep in your pocket and be truly portable. Featuring fiction, comics, essays, posters, drawings and everything in between, this anthology harkens back to the superior quality of the products of yesteryear. In fact, the tear-inducing nostalgia contained within will be enough to melt any cynic's heart. Supplemented with an exclusive introduction by millionaire boy-publisher Andy Brown. There were articles in The Quill & Quire, eye, The Calgary Herald, The Montreal Review of Books, and this from the HOUR. "Brown was able to develop the most challenging and original list in Canada, achieving that rarest of things among the small press: sales... Stretching from fiction to graphic novels to artist editions, the breadth of Conundrum's taste and foresight (both Montreal-bred and beyond) is captured in The Portable Conundrum anthology." "For such a small book The Portable Conundrum packs an impressive amount of material... conundrum publications often defy categorization in the traditional sense, whether through format, style, or content." "The Portable Conundrum is an anthology of new work by everyone ever published by the press. All around, Brown won accolades for creating a unique outlet for these artists' offbeat work and helping to unite Montreal's anglophone creative community... At the heart of it, Conundrum plays a crucial role in Montreal's anglo arts community."
