Review: Good reading, but not Steampunk

With 26 stories and over 1600 pages, there is lots of good reading here. The stories range from good to very good. My only problem is that they are just not Steampunk, rather they are Victorian and Edwardian science fiction and fantasy. Steampunk should involve anachronistic technologies in steam-ara settings, or alternate historical timelines ("Angel of the Revolution" and a few others may come close). Good stories, but calling them Steampunk is like calling Charlie Chan film noir.The book is indexed, and there were not too many typographical errors.
