Rezensionen
Skilful, clever and highly enjoyable.
SFX

Pulls off the impossible.
Locus

Lavie Tidhar s The Bookman is simply the best book I ve read in a long time, and I read a lot of books. If you re worried that Steampunk has turned into a mere fashion aesthetic, then you d better read this one. It s a stunningly imaginative remix of history, technology, literature, and Victorian adventure that s impossible to put down. The book is immensely smart and readable at the same time. I very much hope that it s the first of many such books. Buy it.
James P Blaylock

Literary figures emerge from the swirling fog, automatons patrol the streets, space probes head for Mars and giant lizards rule over Victorian England. A potent and atmospheric steampunk adventure.
Chris Wooding

The Bookman is without a doubt the most enjoyable, fascinating and captivating book I have read in a long time.

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