The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide

I hate keeping secrets. So I’m glad that this one is no longer a secret.

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend you check out issue #1 of The BrickJournal. It was my pleasure to write a short article and set of instructions for the premier issue. But more than that, I believe this is a valuable addition to the LEGO hobby and I think Joe and the rest of the crew did an incredible job pulling this off.

Once you’ve downloaded your FREE copy of the magazine, be sure to check out the ad for The LEGO Builder’s Guide. Sorry, I couldn’t help but put in a plug for the book.

A couple of people were kind enough to let me know that The LEGO Builder’s Guide seemed to disappear from Amazon.com a few days ago. Why it was gone, I don’t know. However, I’m happy to report that it’s back now. So if you’re interested you can find the listing by clicking on this link. Thanks for your interest in the book and a special thanks to those two people who alerted me to this situation.

Best regards,

I have been informed by No Starch Press that the page count for the book is a bit more than initially predicted. As I finished the last of the developmental edits several month ago I ballparked the book at about 300 - 325 pages. It appears now, after accounting for differences in the final layout and also front & back material that the actual page count will be closer to 375.

When I first began to sketch out the proposal for this book (back in October 2003) I would never have guessed it would end up this big. But I won’t complain. It’s been a lot of hard work, so seeing it turn out a bit bigger than expected is just fine with me.

Another important step in the release of this book. If you go to Amazon.com
you should find that the cover art for The LEGO Builder’s Guide has now
been added to the page for the book.

Better still… when you go to the main page, select “Books” as your
category and search for just the word “LEGO” you should find the book comes
up 6th in the results list!
