Abrams Image very graciously donated a copy of FRANK READE: Adventures in the Age of Invention to Beyond Victoriana, and so this month, one lucky reader can get their hands on their very own copy of the counterfactual “biography” of one of steampunk’s pulp adventure inspirations.

1) On the blog: Comment on this post here.
2) On Twitter: Tweet “Enter the Frank Reade giveaway on the multicultural #steampunk blog #beyondvictoriana!” and include a link to this post in your tweet. Re-tweets do not count.
3) On Facebook: “Like” Beyond Victoriana’s Facebook page, if you haven’t already, and post on the wall with the mention, “I <3 Beyond Victoriana because…..” with whatever reason you’d like (trolling will not be tolerated, FYI).

So go forth, and good luck!
