Lasting Impressions, by Ian F Grant, is the first comprehensive history of New Zealand newspapers in 60 years.
“I can only describe it as a magisterial book of newspaper history” – Gavin Ellis, Nine-to-Noon, RNZ, 16 October 2018
“This is a book I would have liked to write, and I have in fact made several false starts on a book like this over the years. It places newspapers in their social environment, highlighting the essential role they played in New Zealand’s development” – Professor Ross Harvey, compiler, Union List of NZ Newspapers Before 1940
“Having only skimmed a few chapters of Lasting Impressions, I am now keen to settle down for a careful reading. What a splendid book!”
– Dr Geoffrey Rice, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Canterbury
