Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel
Hello Ghouls and Boils,
From the fascinating and bizarre minds of Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett comes a new spectacularly strange tale about a Robot and his nineteenth century adventures. Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel – a 170 page hardbound book with 350 illustrations – promises to be a beautiful and very unusual journey. The book will be released on October 1st and there will be events all over Portland, OR and one in Seattle, WA. I am very impressed with the beauty of the period-style illustrations. The bits of the story that are revealed are spellbinding. I have spent a lot of time on the website and am excited to check this one out. Of course you will hear all about it here! Below is the trailer for the book and event information. Enjoy my fiends!
