A guide to cosplay for the beginner or for someone just looking to expand their knowledge of the cosplay scene. This book looks not only at the costume itself and how to get or make one, but where to wear it, how you should act and expect other to act towards you and things you should know before you set a costumed foot outside your home. Read it from front to back or jump to the section that interests you most. The essentials of cosplay are here.
