I just plain read - and write - a lot. Also, enough imports and manual additions fail on this platform - and take so long - that I'll probably be a while before coming back to test it again.

This thing's a bloody masterpiece, and got me into graphic design in a way nothing i'd seen previously even approached.

I almost never like books that back-and-fill around other books in a series, but this one did it beautifully, and may be my favorite of Carriger's steampunk era works. Utterly lovely.
