Following up last week's post, which quoted the observation in a Washington Post article on Pulitzer Prize winning author Edward Paul Jones that "[h]e labored for years as a proofreader or columnist for an obscure journal called Tax Notes":  Christopher Bergin, President and Publisher of Tax Analysts, responds today in a letter to the editor in the Washington Post, A Star in Tax Circles:

Tax Notes has been called the "bible" of the federal tax world and is considered "must reading" among tax professionals in Washington and elsewhere. So we don't consider ourselves "obscure." More to the point, neither do the tens of thousands of Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service officials; members of Congress and their staffers; and tax professionals in the private sector who read our products, including Tax Notes, with enthusiasm.
