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.
SOScott O.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.
PCExcellent snapshot of the contemporary blues scene in Australia. A great read

I bought this book for my brother for his birthday. He texted me this message when it arrived in the mail "Wow Mate. Just WOW. THANKYOU!!!" Not only was my brother happy, but I was really pleased that I bought the book from the author's website. Pauline emailed me when she noticed that I had given the wrong state for the book to be posted to my brother. I replied, she fixed the problem straight away and the next thing I knew my brother had received the book. Terrific, quick service and postage. Thankyou Pauline!
