Reviews
"This is the follow-on companion volume to The Steampunk Bible: An Illustrated Guide to the World of Imaginary Airships, Corsets and Goggles, Mad Scientists, and Strange Literature. . . . Abrams is publishing this one, too, and it looks to be just as wonderfully produced and presented."-- "SF Signal"
"VanderMeer and co-editor Desirina Boskovich have packed their book with hands-on exercises and practical tips to help readers--steampunk fanatics and utter newbies alike--be more than passive consumers."-- "Entertainment Weekly"
