I just recieved this book yesterday and let me tell you its a must have! In my oppinion its 319 pages of Lego goodness....
The book covers 13 topics plus a BRICOPEDIA (a portable Peeron) and Design Grids (for mosaics). The topics are:
- The Lego System: Endless Possibilities
- Back to Basics: Tips and techniques
- Minifig scale: Oh, What a wonderful Minifig World it is!
- Miniland Scale: The Whole World in miniature
- Jumbo Elements: Building Bigger Bricks
- Microscale Building: More than meets the eye
- Sculptures: The shape of things to build
- Mosaics: Patterns and pictures in bricks (My Faviourite!)
- Technic: Not as technical as it may seem
- Putting It all together: Where ideas meet bricks
- Beyond Just Bricks: Other things to do besides Building
- Sorting, storage, and sitting down to build something
- Making and Using Tools for Lego projects
The book is all black and white but every picture is crystal clear. Sometimes the writing gets a bit technical in places, but this doesnt matter much. The book contains quite a few building instructions and a Miniland figure section where it tells you how to make Legolands faviourite people!
Even though the book cost
