Reviews for The Steampunk User´s Manual: An Illustrated Practical and Whimsical Guide to Creating Retro-futurist Dreams
“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.”
