First are the two debut titles in the new Brickmaster book series, already in stores now: LEGO Castle and LEGO Pirates! Each one comes with over 140 bricks that can be stored inside the extra-thick cover, a pair of minifigures, and full-color, step-by-step building instructions to help readers create more than a dozen different models for the classic LEGO themes.
Next up is LEGO® Star Wars™: The Visual Dictionary, a 96-page hardcover celebrating 10 amazing years of LEGO Star Wars models and minifigures! Full of photographs and information about the characters and vehicles of the Star Wars galaxy, this hotly-anticipated book features lots of individual model spotlights and a complete illustrated timeline of every LEGO Star Wars set ever made, from the first models in 1999 to the latest starfighters and droids from the Clone Wars collection. And if that’s not enough, it even includes an exclusive Throne Room Luke Skywalker minifigure, never released before and not available anywhere else! DK is holding over 70 special events around the U.S.A. for the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary on October 10th…maybe even one near you!
And finally, there’s The LEGO Book, a deluxe hardcover that reveals the entire history of The LEGO Group, from its humble beginnings in a Danish carpenter’s workshop to the world-wide phenomenon that the company has become today! The 200 pages of this fun and fact-filled book are packed with detailed photographs and behind-the-scenes information for LEGO fans of all ages, including chapters on the earliest wooden LEGO toys, the creation of the original LEGO brick and the LEGO System of Play, the LEGOLAND® theme parks, how LEGO sets and videogames are made, LEGO art, movies and fan models, and even the LEGO Club around the world! Readers will learn the answers to questions like:
• Why did the earliest LEGO bricks have slits in their sides?
• What was the very first LEGO theme?
• How many LEGO pirate captains have there been?
• What was the difference between LEGO Dino Attack and LEGO Dino 2010?
• Just who was the LEGO Maniac, anyway?
• …and much more!
Not only that, but The LEGO Book isn’t alone – it comes packaged together in a colorful and durable slipcase with Standing Small, an all-new 96-page book celebrating the history of the famous LEGO minifigure!
You can find all of these books this October wherever books are sold!
