If you follow steampunk you NEED this book. Jeff Vander Meer is one of the greatest SP short story/articles/anthology editors and his SP bible encompasses the entire hobby/lifestyle. It is very readable, with short sections and terrific illustrations. The pictures are part historical reprints, part the present, plus pix of the leaders in the genre. It even has a full page portrait of my favourite SP author, Gail Carriger, in full SP costume. What more could I want! So, if you heard about SP and are curious to know what it is about, or, if you are already a SPer and want to further your knowledge, get a copy of The Steampunk Bible and enjoy. You'll have to excuse me, now, as my dirigible is waiting and I need to get my top hat and goggles. - terryavalon
I bought this book to clear up some finer points regarding the Steamapunk movement...to settle a few arguements so to speak. I really wasn't aware of all the details regarding Steampunk and IMHO, this book sets everything straight from garment styles to S.P. music. It's ALL there! I would say it's a must have for the week end convention goer to the hardcore S.P lifestyle followers. Even the Steampunk curious would enjoy this book as the price is nominal and it is a high quality book, photo illustrated throughout. I would certainly buy it again if I didn't have it and actually got to see it prior to purchase. Steampunk is many things to many people but all agree that it's a fun way to reject the mundane ordinary world and live in an alternate reality. Nothing wrong with a good case of split personality to cope with all the nastiness in today's world!Read full review
Stunningly beautiful book. Numerous illustrations. The kind of book you can get lost in the way you did as a child.
