Dick Gross, former Mayor of Port Phillip, author, financial adviser. Latest book: "A Godless Gospel" (September 1999). Fine finger food and a great opportunity to call everyone darling and kiss the air next to their ear. And get YOUR copy of "McQuail" at a ridiculously low price! RSVP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Self-publishing has many advantages, but "McQuail" is clearly not one of them. -- The Corangamite Thunderer The main character is my age (almost exactly), my religion (well, almost) and far more promiscuous than I could ever hope to be. -- Dick Gross Adolescent, unformed, semi-literate, pretentious. And those are the good things about Steve Brook's book. A shock therefore to learn that the author is approaching his threescore and ten. -- The Bugle, Maroochydore A pity the book's content cannot match its snappy design. -- The Australian Pergola Can "McQuail - the Movie" be far away? -- Vision & Sound Religion, the US, marriage - "McQuail" is a puerile attack on easy targets. It's all been done, and done better, before. Brook should learn draughts or crochet and rejoin his generation. -- Yippee! Wahoo! Weekly I thoroughly enjoyed McQuail. It's clear that you're emerging as the antipodean Kurt Vonnegut. -- Phillip Adams . -- -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archived at http://www.cat.org.au/lists/leftlink/ Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Sub: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsub: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
