Review: The one write-up I found is from typewriter blogger Chris Aldrich, who called it truly fantastic after reading it cover to cover (crossword still in progress). He mentioned picking up copy #6 at the festival, with friends grabbing #7 and #8, and said he’s already brainstorming content for a hoped-for issue 2 and 3 — a good sign for a first issue.

It looks like a small-press, in-person launch (festival debut) rather than something with wide press coverage yet — I didn’t find any other independent reviews beyond that blog post. You can find/order it directly through The Typin’ Pint’s site if you want to check it out yourself.
