The Blawg Review Editor is famously (or infamously, depending on your perspective) anonymous. He frequents meet-ups and conventions and hob-nobs with the great and good of the blawgosphere (and me as well) and is frequently pictured in photographic records of those events...

I look forward to reading Blawg Review each Monday and, generally, I'm quick to mention each week's issue here. Sometimes I'm a little busy and I don't get to that mention until Tuesday.
