"When it comes to West Coast writing and publishing, we have gone from famine to feast in less than a lifetime. This unprecedented array of portraits celebrates the feast. Barry Peterson's approach is consistently non-pretentious, attempting to serve both the public and subject, in an honest fashion."; -Alan Twigg, publisher, BC BookWorld
