Steampunk
Simultaneously a literary movement, ultra-hip subculture and burgeoning cottage industry, Steampunk is the most influential new genre to emerge from the late twentieth century. Spinning tales populated with clockwork Leviathans, cannon-shots to the moon and coal-fired robots, it charts alternative histories in which the British Empire never fell or where the atom remained unsplit. Spectacularly illustrated and international in scope, this comprehensive history explores Steampunk’s many intricate expressions in fiction, cinema, television, comics and videogames, and traces its evolution into a truly global aesthetic, which has made its mark on art, architecture, fashion and even music. From the classic scientific romances of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and Mary Shelley, through the dystopian futurescapes of Cyberpunk, to the otherworldly imaginings of Hayao Miyazaki, Alan Moore and China Mieville, author Brian J. Robb sets the key works of Steampunk squarely under the lens of his brass monocle and ventures into a world where airships still rule the skies.
Price : £ 20

The Mighty Boosh is unlike any show you are ever likely to see or indeed ‘hear’ and one that defies description the closest you could get to the unique style of Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding would be in the early days of Reeves and Mortimer with their cardboard props and men with sticks. But unlike Reeves and Mortimer the zany zookeepers Howard Moon (Juilan) and Vince Noir (Noel) never leave their own world. The Mighty Boosh inhabits a universe entirely of its own.
Price : £ 10.58

The Moon in My Room is one small step for technology and one giant leap for fun lighting. The Moon is an accurate curved relief of the real thing and is designed to be mounted on a bedroom wall. Using a mini remote control you can control the phases of the moon and phase through twelve stages from ‘Waning Crescent’ through ‘Waxing Gibbous’ to New Moon. It’s powered by just four AA batteries (with 2 AAA’s in the remote) and comes with a CD giving you an audio tour of the Moon round all its craters and seas. There’s nothing like bringing the magic of the Moon into your room.
Price : £ 21.27
