The rumors were true! Tokyopop has finally announced the release of the first English-language Gothic and Lolita Bible for February 2008. The success was first announced at Book Expo America on June 1, 2007. The release date was announced at New York Anime Fest in December 2007.
Lolitas and their Gothic companions are invited to share their own photos and illustrations in this debut issue.
The mook (book-like magazine) is intended to be printed in “hybrid format,” including both translated text from four Japanese issues as well as new content for the English release. This content is said to include interviews with Mitsukazu Mihara and Nana Kitade as well as Japan Ai author Aimee Major Steinberger. Also included in the mook are English-language patterns for creating your own accessories, among other exciting topics.
Too excited to wait? Pre-order it from Tokyopop’s website or Amazon!

I heard about this on another website, I wasn’t sure if it was true, I’m always a little skeptical of these things but if this is indeed true it will be a happy year for Lolitas everywhere! XDD
