Robinson will have an interesting sequel to write in 10 years' time.' - Ben Thomas, Metro; 'Promises Promises is lavishly illustrated, and half the fun of the book is examining the primary sources . . . [it] has something for devotees of politics, history, psychology, sociology, and for those who just fancy a good laugh at how long and luxuriant Winston Peters' hair was in the 1970s.' - Mike Houlahan, Otago Daily Times; 'This well-produced volume (a credit to the publisher as well as the author) offers a thought-provoking and splendidly packaged look back at New Zealand's political past, valuable for its own sake, and appropriate background reading for the next release of promises, now less than 12 months away.' - Professor Stephen Levine, New Zealand Review of Books Pukapuka Aotearoa Author InformationClaire Robinson is Professor of Communication Design and Pro Vice-Chancellor, Toi Rauwharangi College of Creative Arts at Massey University.
