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.
