Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide, 2nd Edition

[legolijntje]

I saw that this listing has popped up on the website from No Starch Press.

It's a 2nd edition of the book we pretty much all have or want

According to the page it'll be released in september this year and it's about 50 pages longer than the first edition.

Now: I'm in no way affiliated with this book, I just thought some people here might be interested in this 'news' (at least it's news for me).

Does anyone know what is that new content on extra 50 pages? Sariel?

May I must do a visit to Poland to have it signed!!

Well, the webpage says this :

The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder’s Guide, 2nd Edition contains 11 updated and expanded chapters on transmissions; gears and power transmission basics; wheeled steering systems; wheeled suspensions; tracked suspensions; pneumatic systems; pneumatic devices; building strong; basic concepts; basic units and pieces; and axles, bushes, and joints. The updated edition also has entirely new chapters on wheels, the LEGO RC system, planetary gearing, and 3D printing your own LEGO pieces.

This could have just as easily been written by me as well! I plan to buy this book and the ebook (if available) as well.

Thanks to the OP for sharing this,

Well, the webpage says this :

Thanks for description. Since I already own the first edition I won't buy this one probably...

I don't know man being and to print your own parts would be pretty cool.

I don't see much in this "new" edition which makes me want to buy it :)

That is the r3ason for thinking about it again. Does anyone know how google books works with editions? I bought my first ed. As an ebook there.
