==History==
First published in 2001 by Index Communications, the ''Gothic & Lolita Bible'' is a spin-off of the Japanese fashion magazine ''Kera''.〔 It is a "mook", the combination of a book and magazine.〔 The Japanese musician Mana originally proposed the creation of the ''Gothic & Lolita Bible'' and along with Kana, a Japanese singer-songwriter, helped to promote the magazine and the Lolita fashion by dressing in the fashion while performing.〔 Essays by Japanese author Takemoto Novala about "the proper behavior and attitudes" of girls also influenced many to join the Lolita fashion and lifestyle.〔 Most of the ''Gothic & Lolita Bible'' focuses on the Lolita fashion as it is "the more popular of the two fashions".
The idea of publishing the ''Gothic & Lolita Bible'' in North America was first suggested in 2003.〔 In June 2007, Tokopop announced the decision to publish an English-language version and released the first volume in February 2008. It contained articles from past issues, which the editors chose based on available material, and original content.〔 Beginning with the second volume, the English-language ''Gothic & Lolita Bible'' features articles, short stories, and interviews that originally ran in the Japanese version a year ago, along with original content about the fashion, events, and trends in the United States.
