Book Lists of Staple Steampunk:

Steampunk is a new movement within literature based in the roots of some major (see below) classic works of science-fiction. Because of obscurity it is hard to generate traditional reference returns in library catalogues and other general databases. In order to track down lists, the newcomer must look to modern internet connections for a little "steam" in their search. Therefore, fan based sites, wikipedia, & basic library searches are the best bet.

Precursers:

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

First Men On The Moon, The
From The Earth To The Moon
Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
Time Machine, The
