The interviews and profiles in this book are probably not the hardest thing in the world for Eliezer to have put together; he's written on the Australian music industry (in the 'industry' vein) for a number of years.
More thumbnail sketch than in-depth portrait, there's enough tidbits of interest salted through the work to keep the attention of the reader for the duration.
Shane Simpson's profile seems a little short compared to some of the others in the book, and it's a worry that some of the references are sourced from "unknown". More rigid editing would have worked, too.
If you've an interest in the Australian music scene, this is a worthwhile - though not essential read.
