Reviews"Aesthetically, this book is absolutely gorgeous. It's impressive - roughly 9-1/2" x 11" and heavy, with a beautiful cover, nice heavy coated pages that are full color and look tea-stained and otherwise "aged," loaded with beautiful photos on every page….Whether you're a goggles-and-gear-wearing devotee of steampunk or are simply curious, this beautiful book belongs in your library." - SciFiMafia.com, "Together with Voyager Press, Robb has crafted a book that does credit to its subject matter: a punked up history, a hybrid of seriousness and playfulness in the format of an olde worlde postmodern book" - ScienceFictionWorld.com "Anyone wondering where that stuff came from and, really, anyone with less than a Ph.D in Steampunk will profit from reading this new coffee-table tome by Brian J. Robb, recently published by Voyageur Press" - AustinChronicle.com, "Together with Voyager Press, Robb has crafted a book that does credit to its subject matter: a punked up history, a hybrid of seriousness and playfulness in the format of an olde worlde postmodern book" - ScienceFictionWorld.com "Anyone wondering where that stuff came from - and, really, anyone with less than a Ph.D in Steampunk - will profit from reading this new coffee-table tome by Brian J.

And it is beautiful!" - Wired.com "This is the coffee table book for when you want an illustrated encyclopedia covering the history of steampunk, namechecking important inventors and artists, and pointing out books and movies that may be of interest to steampunk fans." - Gamma Squad

Like a top hat
If you are a Steampunk enthusiast this is as necessary as a top hat or corset . Handy as a shirt pocket or hanky for a distressed lady . So comb your whiskers, slip on your boots, grab your electro gun and have fun. The world is a stage so play or sit and watch..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
