adjective X
+ ばかりでなく
+ adjective Y
+ も
means not only X, but also Y
This usage of ばかり extends its core meaning of 'only' quite literally ばかり (only) でなく (joining form of でない, is not).
ばかりでなく can be written with kanji as 許りでなく, but this is a rare form.
This usage of ばかり is interchangeable with ばかりか.
See also:
- verb plain past + ばかり - just
- verb て form + ばかり - nothing but; only
- verb stem + んばかり
- ばかりに - just because ~; on account of ~
