[[VIDEOID:512ae0995c3d5f536cd724c6f4460732]]GREAT LEGO SETS: A VISUAL HISTORY is a beautifully designed and written coffee-table book that any adult LEGO fan should love. It doesn't include every LEGO set ever released--there are far too many sets--but it does include a great many of the most popular, most famous retired sets (e.g., Grand Carousel, Taj Mahal, Millennium Falcon) from every line (e.g., Friends, Bionicles, Mindstorm) that have become expensive collectors' items. This book allows the average, not-so-well-heeled LEGO fan to closely examine and enjoy these storied creations!The book is a slip-cased set with two "volumes"--a hardcover GREAT LEGO SETS book, and a cardboard box that contains an exclusive "Mini Space Cruiser" model to build. There are 102 pieces in the model, enough to generate some satisfying building time. The pieces--which show through a window in the slip-case--are in a factory-sealed bag, and come with a standard booklet of LEGO building instructions. The exclusive "Mini Space Cruiser" model is a small version of the Space Cruiser from the 1979 Space Cruiser and Moon Base set.As an armchair historian, I really love the 6-page, illustrated timeline that traces the development and expansion of LEGO products from the very beginning when the original brick sets were placed on the market, to the present day (2015). The timeline clearly shows the years when each new type of product was introduced and/or renamed (e.g., Elves, Architecture, Technic).The pages that describe the individual LEGO sets include the set number, product line, year introduced, number of pieces, and number of minifigures. Often there is a text box with a brief biography and photograph of the set's designer. There are closeups of the significant features of the models (e.g., building interiors, underlying story, unusual or collectible minifigs). Each included set has a "Brick by Brick" text box that gives factoids (e.g., first example of minifig printing, description of dropped design elements such as a stormtroopers' bath in the Star Wars Death Star, inclusion of rare bricks like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak).I was pleased to be able to look closely at the Grand Carousel, Green Grocer, Taj Mahal, and detailed Eiffel Tower, because all of these great collectible sets are now out of my price range. Also, I was pleased to see that my three current personal favorites, the original Haunted House, the Detective's Office (currently available from LEGO stores), and the Emerald Night Train were all featured with full coverage.

That is followed by a six page description of how a lego set is made, which reads like advertising copy that provides no real information. The rest of the book is pictures and descriptions of various "great" lego sets of all types through the decades. These set descriptions also read like advertising, copied and pasted from old lego catalogs. But maybe there's not that much more to say about a lego set. The book set does include a classic 1980s type lego space ship of about 65 pieces -- the box doesn't say how many pieces -- which is a mini version of the space cruiser from the 1979 Moonbase set #928. The book only includes descriptions of three of the largest of the classic space sets. A lot more lego sets have been made than could ever be included in even a fairly large book like this one. Lego might consider producing a number of book sets like these, each focused on a particular category of lego, with an included mini lego from that category.

I bought this book to reminisce about the sets I had as a kid in the late 70's and early 80's, as well as share with my son. Seeing the Galaxy Explorer on the cover made me believe this book was going to be awesome.Personally I own a lot of Lego sets. Majority of the sets I had as a kid have been preserved and are still with me. I even started collecting many of the modern sets, particularly the Star Wars sets. Together we have a lot of bricks. And yet... I did not like this book.The good. The book is beautifully photographed and includes information from Lego designers. It covers the history from the very first sets and completes it to about 2014 with the final sets being from the Lego Movie. Each page is full of some interesting details about the sets and the individual bricks within the sets. The information comes in chapter verses, picture headlines, breakout boxes, and more. Nice to read. Great to look at.The bad is that it only includes a couple of sets from some of the available genres in each decade, with the largest collection from 2000 on. Of my entire collection spanning with sets from 1978 to 2016 only 4 of them had any information in the book. On top of it there was only another 6 or 7 sets featured that I dearly coveted but never obtained. Seeing the first castle and the airport resulted in some auction site shopping.I would've loved to see an entire chapter on classic Space and another on Town. I would also love to read more about their modern sets and how they come to be. I think organizing it by decade put to much focus on time frames that Lego didn't really conform to. Lego generations had their own years that didn't depend on it ending in an even number.I suppose it would be difficult to make a book that including everything for everyone, so it had to be written with something for someone. That someone just wasn't me.
