Synopsis
Steampunk--a grafting of Victorian aesthetic and punk rock attitude onto various forms of science-fiction culture--is a phenomenon that has come to influence film, literature, art, music, fashion, and more. The Steampunk Bible is the first compendium about the movement, tracing its roots in the works of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells through its most recent expression in movies such as Sherlock Holmes . Its adherents celebrate the inventor as an artist and hero, re-envisioning and crafting retro technologies including antiquated airships and robots. A burgeoning DIY community has brought a distinctive Victorian-fantasy style to their crafts and art. Steampunk evokes a sense of adventure and discovery, and embraces extinct technologies as a way of talking about the future. This ultimate manual will appeal to aficionados and novices alike as author Jeff VanderMeer takes the reader on a wild ride through the clockwork corridors of Steampunk history. Praise for The Steampunk Bible " The Steampunk Bible is an informed, informative and beautifully illustrated survey of the subject." -The Financial Times "The Steampunk Bible is far and away the most intriguing catalog of all things steam yet written." -The Austin Chronicle "It's hard to imagine how VanderMeer and Chambers could have put together a stronger collection. Its publication marks a significant, self-conscious moment in the history of the movement." --PopMatters.com, The Steampunk Bible: An Illustrated Guide to the World of Imaginary Airships, Corsets and Goggles, Mad Scientists, and Strange Literature is the ultimate resource to this fascinating world, as Jeff VanderMeer and S.

    The Steampunk Bible: Getting Along in an Alternative Victorian Age

    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

    Grab your goggles and fasten your airship belt: today we go Steampunk!

    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 ...
