Seems that the Lego Group will be releasing a new book?

I can't find anymore info then the listing on Amazon and the picture of the cover.

Update! Found a description

Toy of the Year; Toy of the Century; Greatest Toy of All Time... there aren t many titles that haven t been bestowed on LEGO toys,

and it s not hard to see why. From its inception in the early 1930s right up until today the LEGO Group s history is as colourful as

the toys it makes. Few other playthings share the LEGO brand s creative spirit, educative benefits, resilience, quality and universal appeal.

The LEGO name is now synonymous with play time, but it wasn t always so. This history charts the birth of the LEGO Group

from the workshop of a Danish carpenter and its steady growth as a small, family-run toy manufacturer to its current position

as a market-leading, award-winning brand. The company s growing catalogue of products including the earliest wooden toys,

plastic bricks, play themes and other building systems such as DUPLO, Technic and MINDSTORMS are chronicled in detail, alongside

the manufacturing process, LEGOLAND parks, licensed toys and computer games. Learn all about how LEGO pulled itself out of an

economic crisis and embraced technology to make building blocks relevant to 21st-Century children and discover the vibrant fan

community of kids and adults whose conventions, websites and artwork keep the LEGO spirit alive. As nostalgic as it is contemporary

Building a History will have you reminiscing about old Classic Space sets, rummaging through the attic for forgotten minifigure friends

and playing with whatever LEGO bricks you can get your hands on (even if it means sharing with your kids).
