Steampunk Books and Machine Age Lamps
OK, whatever you think of the steampunk sub-genre you have to admit this lamp is freakin’ awesome. And if you are a steampunk fan what better accessory to have in your home?
This lamp comes from Machine Age Lamps and they have a plethora of options for you to choose from including custom lamps built to your specifications. Each sculptural lamp is one of a kind, signed and numbered and all the gauges and gears are real antiques. Beautiful. I’ve spent a good half hour lusting over these lamps and thought you might like to see them too.
Of course, once you get your funky-awesome new lamp you’ll want something to read under it. Here is a selection of steampunk books for you to enjoy. With everything from vampires to cowboys to Victorian spies to dragons, and even a Dyson sphere for good measure, there is something here for just about everyone.
What steampunk books have you read? Do you have any recommendations for the uninitiated?

Mark Hodder’s Burton & Swinburne series is well worth a look. George Mann’s Newbury & Hobbes series also, or at least books 1 & 3. I’d probably also squeeze in Mark Gatiss’ The Vesuvius Club for good measure.
Interesting ideas there Lucian, thanks for the heads up. As a bit of a Steampunk newbie the more ideas the better. Of the books illustrated in the blog I’ve read the Chris Wooding (excellent writer imo) and the Gail Carriger and Cherie Priest(WoGF authors).
Thanks for putting Society of Steam on the list! It’s Steampunk w/ Superheroes, for those who like some might chocolate in their steamy peanut butter.
Jonathon Burgess’ The Dawnhawk Trilogy is a good series for Fantasy readers who want to get their feet wet in Steampunk. It spans the two genres nicely and is a fun read.
Of those, I’ve read George Mann’s series, Scott Westerfeld’s series, and Boneshaker. All were excellent.
