More than any other publication, Gothic & Lolita Bible has played an instrumental role in defining the Japanese Lolita style. A quarterly mook (magazine/book hybrid) that's a combination fashion magazine, culture guide, and art book, the Bible caters to fans of two separate but related Gothic and--to a greater extent--Lolita. Volume 2 of the U.S. edition offers content from volume 25 (June 2007) of this definitive Japanese mook for the first time in English, along with exciting original content covering the Gothic and Lolita culture in North America.

    This book is really good and creative so far and it gives me so much inspiration to make new clothes more and more! I love designing, drawing, and putting together my own personal clothes! And this book gives me so much great ideas!

    The perfect magazine for Lolitas. Not only did this magazine feature egl fashion, but also things like baked goods and flowers that lolitas also enjoy. I liked that they included occupations for the street shot segments. When someone has nice things people always wonder what they do for a living. At times they even included prices so that was helpful. I'd give this magazine 5 stars if every volume was released in English, and outfits had details of where every piece was from as well as price. On a side note, the inclusion of bl was a pleasant surprise.

    While I really enjoyed flipping through this one, I feel like my time with GLB in English is coming to an end... it's a delightful mook but my brain is not a mook-supporting brain. HOWEVER! So so so cute and wonderful to flip through; I'll have to find a way to aquire them on the cheap so I can just have 'em around the house without a time limit to read.

    The patterns were better in this volume than in the last volume. The patterns included were for a Nekomimi skirt, a Marble top, and Baby the Stars Shine Bright skirt (probably the better of the two skirts, construction-wise, as it is lined and the other is not.) Still, I'd like to see patterns for dresses and cuter tops.

    The theme of this volume was flowers. If you like flowers, you will probably like this volume. If you don't, you'll end up skimming a good portion of it, which is what I ended up doing. I like flowers, but geez.. There only so much rose-trivia I want to know.
