Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett will be performing excerpts from the book Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel at Powell’s Books. CBR has posted an interview with Paul and Boilerplate co-author/wife Anina Bennett. They talk about the creation of the Victorian robot, their intent with the book, and provide hitherto unknown tidbits about the coffee-table tome.  Paul, Boilerplate, and Anina Colleen Coover browses through an advance copy of Paul Guinan’s BOILERPLATE hardcover. A MAJOR BOILERPLATE EXHIBITION AT PORTLAND CENTER Boilerplate’s creator Paul Guinan sees the soon to be released BP coffee-table book as history–with one fictional element, a robot. Technically this makes it science-fiction. However, Paul doesn’t necessarily think of it as steampunk, because of the lack of goggles, gears, airships, and other such tropes. Richard Vasseur interviews Paul Guinan about his robot creation Boilerplate, and comic book co-creations Heartbreakers, and Chronos. Review copies of Paul Guinan’s BOILERPLATE book are getting rave reviews. The latest is from Erik Litz, Powells Books: “This highly unique and visually stunning piece of work, which has found it’s way to book form, is a priceless piece of originality. Some other form of media would be amiss to not see this translated towards television or film. Both ‘old world’ and ‘high tech’ merge to birth a new hero for us all. Exquisite in execution and delivery…..ahh, there are still books, after all my years, that can inspire me so. My own words cannot do it justice. One can’t be told what BOILERPLATE is, one must experience it.”  Dime Novel Circa 1900 Paul Guinan’s Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel was just picked by Amazon.com as a “Best of 2009…So Far.” They describe it as “part history, part science fiction, and 100% astounding” Talk about time traveling–the profusely illustrated coffee-table tome isn’t even in stores yet! Here’s Amazon’s full review. Be at your favorite bookseller on October 1st– or just pre-order it now on Amazon!
