Trade Review
I can't imagine how they whittled it down to just 50 people'. -- Comedian Nik Rabinowitz
A fantastic thought-provoking book that renews my appreciation for history. It reminds us how we got here and how we can avoid things getting worse. -- Mandla Shongwe * SAFM Lifestyle *
A fascinating, terrific read. -- Gareth Cliff * CliffCentral *
Brilliant. D'you remember Meg Ryan's orgasm in When Harry Met Sally? No, I didn't have an orgasm (sadly) reading the book, but I did yell Yes Yes Yes! -- Gorry Bowes Taylor
A book which is likely to launch a few thousand arguments about who else ought to have been included . . . with superb cartoons from Zapiro . . . And I applaud the inclusion of the nameless lady who assures us, 'Your call is so important to us that we've been ignoring you for seventeen minutes at your expense.' -- Jay Heale * Fine Music Radio Christmas 2017 recommendation *
Interesting stuff - go read it! -- Nigel Pierce * Good Hope FM *
