’Given that Rusbridger is, in my opinion, one of the two great newspaper editors of the past half-century (the other is the late Harry Evans), anything he writes about the press is going to be worth reading . . . Many of the mini-essays are useful distillations of his experience in, and knowledge of, the industry’
Guardian        

‘If you are interested in the mechanics of the news, especially related to the times we are living in, going through and set to go through, then this book is a must’
NIHAL ARTHANAYAKE, BBC    
   
‘[Rusbridger] was one of the stand-out editors of his generation and it shows in his book: an astute and agreeably random canter through the imperfect world of journalism in Britain and America . . . erudite’
Financial Times        

‘An agreeable and very worthwhile book. It invites you to think and question. It is informative and entertaining’ Scotsman        

‘Smart, relevant and punchy . . . a powerful light in the darkness’
Evening Standard        

‘Captivating . . . a compelling tour d’horizon of the trade’
