Ya this book has many interesting pictures there is no meat behind it. May be I was looking for something more when I ordered this book. I was thinking I would see what kind of material's were used for the work. Strampunk is something that can be cool but almost everything in this book was created to look like it worked but in fact doesn't. This book is like glitter on a turd for this reason.

This book grew out of the exhibit that ran at the Museum of the History of Science at the University of Oxford, UK. It features the art and creations from 17 different artists. This book celebrates the variety, creativity and uniqueness of Steampunk. It brings to life creations from moves like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and from books by authors like Cassandra Clare, Arthur Slade and many more.

This book will be a great hit with fans of the Steampunk movies or books. It will also be a fun coffee table book and conversation starter. Full of original and unique art work, it brings science fiction to life with a Victorian twist.
