About the Author
Jay Strongman is a renowned international DJ and writer, who has long had an interest in the underground elements of popular culture. Born and bred in the heart of the former British Empire, he first became intrigued by Victorian Science Fiction after seeing the film of H. G. Wells' The Time Machine as a boy. That fascination, coupled with an active interest in subcultures, drew him to Steampunk. Jay lives, together with his wife, actress Julienne Davis, between L.A. and London.

...with all the good and bad that implies.
The good is that it's gorgeous, and showcases the work of some truly inspired creators.
The bad is that there's not much about the actual process of creation, or anything that far beyond the art itself.
Of its type it's excellent - well-produced and full of lovely imagery. For me, it's pretty expensive for something I doubt I'll re-read often, if ever.

I found the Steampunk Bible a bit of a let down, while this book was a pleasant surprise. Exceeded my expectations by far.
Great selection of artist with stunning artwork plus an impressive look into the origins of the genre.

Fantastic book, full of top quality photos and illustrations together with an interesting and informative Introduction.
It makes you want to either collect steampunk items or try to make your own ( if only I had the skill and imagination ).
Thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'm sure I'll come back to it frequently.

Definitive work.
Steampunk is rapidly becoming a cliche, with cog wheels appearing in the most unlikely places. I found this collection fresh and revitalising as it avoids many of the more obvious... Read more

Steampunk as visual and 3D work.
This is certainly one of the best books on Steampunk around at the moment, at least for those of us who appreciate the work of the artists and makers currently engaged with the... Read more
