This is a fantastic book! First, the designs and creations throghout the book are beautiful and full of details. The instructions are accurate and easy to follow. And finally, and most important to me personally, Jeff’s builds were just the kick in the pants I needed to start building with my own collection again. If you’re an adult fan of Lego, this book is worth owning for the aesthetics of his builds alone, but as I said, they’re also terrific pieces of inspiration. If you’re the parent of a lego fan, this book might well help extend that wonderfully creative time in your child’s life just a bit longer by giving them an example of the creations they can conjure up with more practice and time.

Starter Book for Building LEGO Microscale Architecture Models
Although I love LEGO and miniatures, I’ve never been particularly interested in building microscale LEGO models--there is too much loss of detail in the end. This book, LEGO MICRO CITIES: BUILD YOUR OWN MINI METROPOLIS!, illustrates the “problem”: although the colorful endpapers show four different city models (Bridge Town, Hyperloop City, Steamworks, Upper Brick Side), the models and buildings all look very similar. There are only so many different “looks” that you can achieve by combining the smaller LEGO elements.The book has complete instructions for eight different city models. The ones not previously mentioned are Gilded City, Tomorrowland, Utopia, and Strange New Worlds.Basically, this book is helpful for LEGO fans who want to get started on building their own microscale architectural models (models along the lines of the official LEGO sets in the “Architecture” theme series). It explains how to construct different types of tiny buildings (round, rectangular, or stacked skyscrapers, for instance), as well as how to create tiny but recognizable trains, ships, trees, statues, trees, etc. There are also tips on how to solidly attach various components to the baseplate and other elements.Hardcore LEGO aficionados will enjoy looking through this well-done book. However, it’s quite limited in scope, and of course you will end up buying bricks if you want to replicate the models shown in the book.
