This is a collection of letters, reviews and criticisms lifted from over thirty years of writings.
Some I found interesting, some I found dull but it is a great social history of New Zealand in a time when it was all very regulated, regulations that didn't come off until the Lange Government of 1984.
Mason had some great battles with people all played out in letters to the newspapers, naturally these played out over many days, whereas these days there'd be a Twitter argument and its done and dusted in an hour.
Great pub trivia fact, Mason had a brother who was an All Black.
All in all an interesting collection
