I had to write a 10 page paper on the history and design of the LEGO brick. I found this book to be an enormous help. It is very thorough, from the history of LEGO beginnings all the way to the future of LEGO bricks. The design of the book is really great, it includes reprinted catalogs from the past as well as other bits of history. If you are a fan of LEGO, I highly suggest purchasing this book to go with your LEGO collection.

I spent a couple hours looking at this book, then tucked it away for our son's 14th birthday in a couple of months. It's too cool of a present to be lost among his Christmas presents. Perfect gift for a kid who loves Legos and already owns the DK Publishing books. Not for anyone under about 12, just because it probably won't capture their interest for very long.

This book is great to read. Filled with lots of tidbits of information its great fun to read. However the 'extras' that made me buy the book were disappointing.

The Facsimiles were very well produced. But the way they are stored in the book makes it really difficult to get them out! Note: half of them are not in English and stay true to the originals (which I think is a good thing).

The Lego bricks that were included were VERY disappointing. I've grown up using Lego and straight away I could tell that the quality of the Bricks were not the usual Lego quality. I don't know the reason but it was very disappointing.

Receive a book with pocket pages containing objects owned many years ago, makes you remember happy hours spent playing with Lego. The book is new, big, beautiful and innovative, reached its destination in a short time. In addition to memories, inspires you to continue the adventure with Lego, see what's new and in what ways you can assemble the different building blocks. Inevitable in a library ... Lego!

I bought this item for a friend who is a Lego enthusiast and collector. Since it is published and mostly sold in the UK, he had never seen it or heard of it. He loved it, especially charmed by the Legos blocks on the side. It ended up being the quiet hit of Christmas, as everyone in the family took turns getting completely absorbed in it. The copy ads are very interesting.

Not exactly what I expected - the manuals are copies of very old sets I had hoped they would be from the 1970's. Hopefully my grandson will enjoy it anyway.

Nice book, a must have for the LEGO fans.
The book contains removeable old LEGO flyers.

Mooi boek, een must voor de echte LEGO fans.
In het boek zitten o.a. uitneembare oude LEGO Folders
