what do you think of it? my steampunker has VERY decided ideas about
what works and what doesn't, and has the sewing background to back

It's visually great. It's really a showcase of various steampunk
designers and their creations - not a "how to" book at all. But the
creations are amazing.
Another one that was on my list (but I didn't get) is: "Steampunk
your Wardrobe" by Calista Taylor. However, after reading the
description and reviews on Amazon, it appears to be for a beginner,
not for a serious, experienced costumer, so I'll probably skip it.
