Yup, it is still published, but only to Piano Technician Guild members. I dropped my membership years ago. There have been a few "tune-offs" over the years - some between equal temperament and alternates and others between competing electronic tuning devices. (I hosted/ran one of those for the Chicago chapter years ago, using a number of Baldwin school upright pianos - notoriously difficult scale design for devices to calculate a decent tuning) One note about the first tune-off: I studied a bit with Virgil Smith and I don't think he ever 'just' tuned a piano he didn't also spend time with the voicing.

I wonder if the argument that serifs make text easier to read is related to the notion that cursive handwriting is better for the flow of ideas. After all, they both involve extra strokes that guide you from one letter to the next.
