“Beautiful and tastefully presented photography.”
The Brick Blogger

“I especially appreciate that the book lists every single LEGO piece you will need for each individual build. That way I know if we have the right pieces needed to get the final design and sometimes we swap out for similar pieces. This book is especially great for families like mine that have more LEGO than we know what to do with yet we still want to build more.”
