"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."
