‘Distilled into words and pictures it conjures the sense of a thrilling journey into a place at once spiritual, visual, many-layered and dauntingly complex. Its grasp of the cultural underpinning of the art, its execution, and its politics is extraordinary. This is the essential guide or starting place to any issue or question relating to Australian indigenous art.’
Louise Martin-Chew, Eyeline, 2009.

‘What I find attractive about Susan McCulloch’s treatment of Aboriginal art is the manner in which she combines a first-hand experience of Aboriginal art with a journalistic flare and a market-savvy approach…one cannot but respect McCulloch’s profound first-hand knowledge…Some books reflect the art market. This one will do much to mould the indigenous art market over the next few years, serving the roles of a well-informed introduction as well as a promotional guide to those wishing to collect indigenous art.'
Sasha Grishin, The Canberra Times, 2008
