Rick Long

A collection of columns variously described as "autobiographical, anecdotal, articulate and amusing" from Wairarapa Times-Age columnist Rick Long.

In 1998 he was invited by The Wairarapa Times-Age to submit a column and that offering, Signs of the Times, has appeared weekly in the paper ever since. In 2006 publishers Fraser Books put together a collection of some of those articles, many of them autobiographical, called One Man's Meat, which has sold exceptionally well.

Reviews
Book reviewer Marlene Ditchfield said: "Such is the literary magic of this book. This is high praise and I do not give it lightly. Rick Long is a talented man. His writing is insightful, sincere and warm and above all very, very funny."

Graeme Barrow of the Northern Advocate was also fulsome in his praise: "The columns are interesting and chatty and I'm surprised that, NZ being as short of quality columnists as it is, that these haven't been given wider circulation."

Rick is also involved with the The Sign Factory.
