![]() ![]() It’s a convenient multimedia collection, best suited for a coffee table, not a textbook. But this book, in truth, is a collection of interviews with artists, musicians, authors, performers, and costumers talking about their craft and their relationship to the concept of “steampunk.” You can learn a lot from reading about their process and if a certain piece of work catches your eye, you can check out their work to learn more. Shame on me for not reading it more thoroughly in the shop, but I flipped through the pages full of bright, glossy photographs, and marched to the front counter without a second thought.ĭon’t get me wrong – this book partially covers those topics, and I quite enjoyed those parts. I was also hoping it would live up to its self-proclaimed title as a “how-to guide” full of projects. As an engineer who works at a maker space. I was hoping for a history of the steampunk genre and a primer on the main tropes, cliches, and foundational works of the movement. I picked up this book at a Renaissance fair, in preparation for running a Treasure Planet inspired DnD Planescape campaign. ![]() Rating: 3.5/5 stars – Not what’s advertised, but still a good read. ![]()
