Thanks for the responses! I'd really like to get a copy when it becomes available (I wonder how much it would cost in US$). If you guys recall, there was something close to/similar to this which was published in Japan (300 or so pages), so naturally the wordings were in Japanese! Still, looking at the wonderful images of sets long gone is always a treasure to behold.
A little introduction about myself: I fell in love with Legos during my teenage years when it was first introduced in my native country, the Philippines in the early 80s. If I am not mistaken, it was the Space Sets that were featured in this huge show in one of the malls near where I live. Unfortunately, that was also the time of my 'dark age' due to the fact that even a small set cost alot of money. Fond of reading, I used most of my allowance on books.
Totally forgot about Legos until 1991 when I (finally) bought my first set - the Imperial Flagship (I hope I got that right) and never looked back. And thanks for the welcome, too!
I do apologize if my postings will be kinda wacky as I am not a savvy person when it comes to computers, postings, e-mails and bloggings. :-$
