In hindsight, I could have used this for my "written by a local author" reading challenge prompt, as I picked the book up at the Edmonton Comic Expo last year. I did end up skimming some of the book and game reviews, but I still loved how deeply Mike went into the history and sub-genres of steampunk. I'm a huge Gail Carriger fan so I loved how often her books were mentioned, and was thrilled to read about Punch Drunk Cabaret, who I have also seen live. I was also really impressed with the steampunk fashion section and enjoyed reading about the different Steam Cons and expo experiences.
