Volume 4 will contain original content as well as authorized translation of material originally appearing in Japanese volume 27, December 2007. "The Gothic & Lolita Bible" is 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 fashions out of Japan, Gothic and - to a greater extent - Lolita. The Lolita look, a sweet, modest, Victorian-influenced fashion with origins in Japanese street fashion, has a particularly strong and growing fan base in the United States. The Japanese Bible has played an instrumental role in promoting and standardizing the Gothic and Lolita styles, and the U.S. Bible aims to achieve the same success in the American market, where there's a growing desire for more information in English.

    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.

    I found this volume to be more interesting than the last two, probably because it was a winter issue and they had more festive things and frilly clothes to talk about. ;-) Some interesting articles were how to make yummy-looking jewelry out of polymer clay, and where to get the best cupcakes in the US. There are a couple of crochet and knit patterns along with the typical sewing patterns.

    This issue also had international lolitas, as the mook is gaining popularity in other English-speaking countries.
