I pre-ordered Volume 5 because a good friend (and my favourite artist) is one of the artists in the book, and her chapter also includes my photography. Then I also find out this volume includes another friend and several other artists that I really admire. So, buying this book was a no-brainer, it was always going to happen. The pre-order is duly delivered in quick time, and it was very well packed and protected against the Australian weather and postal service. Straight away, I read the chapters on my friends, and I was super-impressed with the quality, the writing style, and the overall production. I expected the book to be good, but I really didn't expect it to be this damn good! It is wonderful! I immediately decided I want (no, I need) the complete set! So, I've gone straight back into Pauline's online store and ordered Volumes 1-4. These books will be an important reference guide and valued accompaniment to my music collection.

Very prompt and professional service.

An excellent read and reference guide. I see Pauline is seeking submissions for a second one. Aussie blues artists would be mad not to get on board.

Excellent snapshot of the contemporary blues scene in Australia. A great read

All good thanks! :)

I have now purchased all 5 Blues Portraits and 10 * is well worth it,great reading and great publications.

Very interesting reading how our musicians started out, always a great cross section included 😊

Fantastic service - Thank you!

Fantastic

So well captured. Love it

Perfect. Can’t wait to find a spot for it in my home

Informative and a great read 😀

What I've read so far is impressive.

Grateful for Pauline's additional critical contribution to our thriving Blues Community, and a wonderful way to delve deeper into my peers and mentors' lives through each colourful page. The foreword by Fiona Boyes and the special on Allan Stafford moving!
