I'll have to look closer at this article. On the face of it, tangible book value per share has a better exhibit than tbook, which supports your point, although it still does not bear up to historic trends. My pre-article view is that I disagree that tangible book is not a good measure for industrials. Share repurchases and other financing transactions have been performed since time immemorial. If the tangible value of a company (which is the quickest proxy for the harder-to-calculate liquidation value) has been somehow rendered irrelevant by modern theory, then I'm probably wasting my time rereading Security Analysis :) Of course, of book value almost anything can be said since almost any book value can be justified these days through purchase accounting.
