THE STEAMPUNK BIBLE IS THE FIRST BOOK OF ITS KIND, a fully illustrated compendium tracing the roots and history of this subculture, from the work of its godfathers Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to the key figures who first coined the word that would spawn a literary genre, to the vast community of craftsmen and artists that has translated the spark into a lifestyle with clothing, accessories, and a backstory to match. This ultimate manual, filled with scores of illustrations and photographs, will capture a world seen through aviator goggles, including the history, literature, film, art, crafts, television, comics, and fashion created by Steampunks the world over. In these pages you'll find a do-it-yourself project from Steampunk Workshop founder Jake von Slatt and interviews with Scott Westerfeld, author of Leviathan, and Sean Orlando, creator of the Raygun Gothic Rocketship. Steampunk fashion photographer Libby Bulloff captures different styles for sporting spats, cravats, corsets, and goggles, while The Difference Engine coauthor Bruce Sterling pens a user's guide to the subculture. Additional contributors include Greg Broadmore, Jema Hewitt, Mike Mignola, Molly Crabapple, Jess Nevins, Catherynne M. Valente, and many more. Simultaneously an investigation of the roots of Steampunk and a veritable who's who of its key players, The Steampunk Bible encapsulates the past, present, and possible future of the genre.
