All manner of costumes are given coverage: superheroes and supervillains, video game characters, and of course those from Japanese anime culture. Both authors tasked themselves with providing comprehension on every major aspect of cosplay. There is ample coverage on its culture and history, methods of sourcing materials, planning out and making a costume, plus advice on enjoying conventions and starting off in cosplay photography.
