I am returning this book along with the Lego Star Wars DK book that I ordered. I will take a hit on shipping but these are not worth keeping. They are just glorified Lego catalogs. MIght as well get a Lego catalog for free. I thought that they would be different – like have thoughts for building new things with the Lego sets.

I ordered the Lego book, but was sent STAR WARS Lego book. Since this was for my son’s b-day I had no time to return it…luckily he likes Star Wars as well. Small irritated that I could have got the Star Wars book cheaper though. Thought I was paying for the Lego book.

I bought this book for my 8 year ancient son for Christmas. He is a MAJOR lego fan. He likes reading and getting the Brickmaster catalogs from Lego, plus all of their item catalogs, so I thought a nice book about Legos would suit him well. Although he hasn’t recieved the book yet, I am 100% positive he will LOVE it. After the book came and I got a chance to look through it, I am very impressed. Lots of plain bright pictures of past, present sets…Lots of appealing info. He really enjoys the tiny small details of all of the sets and minifigs,and you get to see them really well. It also comes in a fantastic “boxed set” with the extra Minifig book. What a fantastic bonus! I know he will really delight in reading this book. I am excited for him to get it!! I really would reflect this book would be more expensive, but it’s very reasonably priced for the quality of this book
And shipping was extremely quick as usual with all of my amazon buys.

The LEGO Book / Standing Tiny is a nice set of reference books / coffee-table books, but is not the end-all be-all reference that I hoped it would be. This set certainly leans toward the casual fan (either child or adult), rather than the hard-core LEGO maniac. But for the fee, it is a worthy addition to a LEGO reference library if only for the images.
To date, there has not been a single volume that could be considered the definitive reference for LEGO including the history of the company, the LEGO philosophy, and the product lines (to date). To get a reasonably perfect set of reference (as described in previous sentence), you currently have to buy many books, some of which were never available in the US. These include LEGO BOOK MUSEUM Vol.1 Minifigs & Sets Visual Catalog (Japan), 50 Years of the LEGO Brick, LEGO Collector’s Guide, The Essential LEGO Book, The World of LEGO Toys, 50 Years of Play, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen en LEGO (Netherlands), The LEGO Train Book (Europe only), and a handful of various LEGO (System), PRIMO, and DUPLO books / catalogs (Europe only).
It would be nice to have a single tome that could be considered THE reference including manufacturing histories, parts, sets, patents (both persons in produced sets / pieces and persons referenced by the patents used for production items), etc. in addition to the history of the company and the design philosophy. Granted this would end up being aimed at a much smaller market with a much privileged fee tag, but it would be well worth the publisher / leader / LEGO company’s time and effort.
