So, some time ago, the marvellous S and N visited me and we wandered into Waterstones. And I saw the prettiest book cover you ever did see, all gilded King Tut's death-mask and Edwardian Egyptology-mania. I wanted the book at first sight, I craved it's presence on my bookshelves ... it was part 2 in a series. While me reading a series in the wrong order is not unheard of, I thought, no, this seems to be a new author, I'll add to his coffers and get the first one and, if it's not terrible, I'll get the second one later.

This is how easily I am swayed by pretty book art.

And I will be buying the second one, because it's not bad )

This was also the book that had the printer's error I mentioned before. My original copy had pages 289 - 320 replaced by a duplication of pages 257 - 288, but Snow Books were really helpful and sent a replacement, so I'd just like to big them up.

The LibraryThing Suggestions are all other steampunk books, The Unsuggestions are more varied )
