The Steampunk Bible by Jeff VanderMeer

An Illustrated Guide to the World of Imagery, Gear, and Attitude

A richly illustrated guide to the steampunk movement that traces its Victorian-industrial aesthetics and cultural roots, surveys literature and visual art, and profiles makers, designers, and writers; it combines essays, interviews, timelines, and photography with practical how-to projects, costume and gadget guides, and a gallery of contemporary work to define the genre’s ethos and inspire fans, makers, and creators.
