Available as a pre-order from 'The Book Depository' at 10% off and free worldwide shipping.  Once it is released I expect the 10% discount to increase.

Very nice.  I like the mix of period detail with a touch of Jules Verne,

I got my copy yesterday.
What a treat!

A wonderful book, chock full of glorious illustrations.
Plenty of good background fluff in there too, so this should provide plenty of inspiration.
 8) 8)

Do not be put off by the Steampunk title either, if 'proper' VSF is your bag, as even the more extravagant ideas would transfer very well to a more 'traditional' setting.
All in all a great book, full of inspiration.
The really scary thing was, I even caught my missus reading it.
 ;)

If VSF or Steampunk is your thing: Buy it.
You wont be disappointed.

Sorry I missed this earlier. Will say, I'm a bit put off by the machine gun, with the full understanding that YMMV is in control here.

I've pre-ordered from Amazon.

DO say when it arrives; I can then start needling the good Sir Randall for a peek at his.  lol

I received my copy earlier this week and am very pleased with the way it is put together, the artwork and the descriptions of the different units and soldiers. I very good book for painting ideas, unit constructions, etc., etc. Well worth the money as far as I'm concerned.

It appears I forgot preordering this one, as it arrived last week.  So far very nice and I want to redo all my VSF armies.
