Book Reviews of 50 Years of the LEGO Brick

Book Review: Good..not great.
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is great to read. Filled with lots of tidbits of information its great fun to read. However the 'extras' that made me buy the book were disappointing.

The Facsimiles were very well produced. But the way they are stored in the book makes it really difficult to get them out! Note: half of them are not in English and stay true to the originals (which I think is a good thing).

The Lego bricks that were included were VERY disappointing. I've grown up using Lego and straight away I could tell that the quality of the Bricks were not the usual Lego quality. I don't know the reason but it was very disappointing.

Summary of 50 Years of the LEGO Brick

o     Officially licensed by the LEGO Group, this book includes previously unpublished archive material and six original LEGO bricks; it tells the story of one of the most creative inventions of the last century which has gone on to feature in the top five of the world's largest toy manufacturers

Throughout its 75-year history the LEGO Group has lived up to its motto - Only the best is good enough - and emphasised the importance of high quality, ensuring that consumers return to LEGO products again and again. Today the LEGO Group is among the top five of the world's largest toy manufacturers and LEGO products are sold all over the globe.

Part of the company's success was the creation of the first LEGO brick 50 years ago. To celebrate this commemorative event this officially licensed anniversary book was presented to the press during the Nurnberg Toy Fair in Germany at the beginning of this year. The book also features 10 pieces of removable facsimile items which the author, Mr Christian Humberg, was able to retrieve from the LEGO archives in Billund, Denmark. Six original LEGO bricks are also included to make this publication the perfect gift for all fans of this special toy.
