Review:

The Bookman is a delight, crammed with gorgeous period detail, seat-of-the-pants adventure and fabulous set-pieces. --The Guardian

This is a steampunk gem...Bring on a sequel, Tidhar! I'm craving to know what happens after the ending! --SFF World

The Bookman pokes at the fat and waddled body of steampunk with its walking cane and leaves it on the roadside with its fresh take on Victorian London without losing any steam on its way. --Loudmouth Man

About the Author:

Israeli-born writer Lavie Tidhar has been called an emerging master by Locus magazine, and has quickly established a name for himself as a short fiction writer of some note. He has travelled widely, living variously in South Africa, the UK, Asia and the remote island-nation of Vanuatu in the South Pacific, and his work exhibits a strong sense of place and an engagement with the literary Other in all its forms. He is currently based in Laos, in South East Asia.
