Review :
‘Reading Promises Promises: 80 Years of Wooing New Zealand Voters, I found it impossible not to wonder whether Dr Claire Robinson has expertly documented an era of mass political communication that is coming to an end in the internet age . . . Robinson will have an interesting sequel to write in 10 years’ time.’  ‘Promises Promises is lavishly illustrated, and half the fun of the book is examining the primary sources . . . [it] has something for devotees of politics, history, psychology, sociology, and for those who just fancy a good laugh at how long and luxuriant Winston Peters’ hair was in the 1970s.’  ‘This well-produced volume (a credit to the publisher as well as the author) offers a thought-provoking and splendidly packaged look back at New Zealand’s political past, valuable for its own sake, and appropriate background reading for the next release of promises, now less than 12 months away.’
