    Reception

    [edit]

    Dave Langford reviewed Anthonology for White Dwarf #86, and stated that "Some display the compulsive daftness of Anthony at his best [...] many could usefully have remained in obscurity; one is an incredibly filthy joke which would shock your editor if described here. Acerbic introductions bewail the bad taste of editors and the obtuseness of critics."[1]
