It seems to me that you could get most of that sorta information form
reading the novels. Espically info on fashion, etiquette, and accessories
(guns of course) from the scenes in the books based on the locations that
the action in the novels takes place in.

"Windows 95: 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to

written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition." -
