Mirka Mora's comments. "A magnificent ‘thesis’ that I read ravenously. It is amazing how this history remembers all these magazines and all the people involved who wrote for them. It was an honour to read this book. Magazines are like good soldiers – holding the flag of Art and intrigues and falling down one by one. This book makes good reading and reawakens the memory of many passionate ghosts male and female one remembers from the past in the ‘mosaic’ of Art in Australia."
