A whimsically robotic steampunk journey through the alphabet with over 26 color robot illustrations to spark imaginations of all ages!
Hello!
By now, many of you know who I am, but for those who don’t, allow me to introduce myself. I am The Impossible Winterbourne – Old World Gentleman, SteamBot Creator, and Man About Town! I have spent some time over the last few years installing robotic creations around the country (and Canada, and London, and Mexico). Now i have a new project – a project I have worked very hard hard on, but can’t complete on my own.
I call it “The AlphaBots!” It is a fully illustrated alphabetical journey through several (twenty-six to be exact) robotic creations of my workshop. Its whimsical characters and bright colors are guaranteed to capture the attention of children, but the level of art and detail can be appreciated by all! It is more than just a children’s book. It is a labor of love, and a work of art. The final book will be a 11″ x 11″ full color 64 page hardcover.
The book is complete, and ready to go to press, and that is where you come in! I have found, over my journey of creating this book, that publishing is not easy, nor is it inexpensive! So I have turned to the Kickstarter community and my handful of loyal followers to help me reach my publishing goal. I do not, however, intend for you to help me out without receiving something special in return. Every donation tier comes with something made by me that you cannot get anywhere else!
Let’s join together to take “The AlphaBots” from impossible to possible!

I have set the ship date of this project to be November of this year, getting all items into your hands just in time for the Holidays (Christmas, Krampusnacht, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.). As anyone who has lived long enough knows, sometimes life has a way of derailing plans. Publishing the book could take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months, so there is a bit of unpredictability there, BUT all other gifts are made by me, and I will start shipping those out to you as soon as “The AlphaBots” is funded.
