Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-17 Summary: Amazingly detailed ... Bedford's book offers everything and anything that one could consider useful to know about building with LEGO. I love the way he describes how to design things using grids and how to organize large collections of LEGO bricks. He's even designed a game in LEGO that others can play! I highly recommend this book to all ages of LEGO builders. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-21 Summary: Delivers what is promises ... A true labor of love, this is the most comprehensive guide around! A must-have for LEGO devotees. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-19 Summary: The best LEGO guide available. ... THE UNOFFICIAL LEGO BUILDER'S GUIDE is the best "Overview" of the LEGO building system available hands down. The book has been written for beginners as well as more advanced builders. It's a great reference guide with tips, techniques and definitions for users of all ages.

Once those "sets" are in a hundred pieces and you want to try your hand at your own creation, this is the guide you will reach for to ...more

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-09 Summary: An improvement ... This guide is much better than the one for LEGO Star Wars. Better presentation, better maps...overall much clearer. You probably won't use this one as much as the book for LEGO Star Wars since the game seems to be slightly easier. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-07 Summary: Frustration Over! ... It drives me crazy when I can't find all the secrets in a game! It also makes me feel extremely thick when I can't figure out a puzzle. This books sorts out both problems, in addition to making this mom look "cool" when she plays with her kids. I like the addition of the checklists- that was one of the biggest drawbacks of the Lego Star Wars Guide. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-01 Summary: Could have been 5 stars ... I really wanted to give this book 5 stars since it helped me a HUGE amount in finishing the game to 100% completion. However, it should be noted that the book is full of errors. Most are no big deal and might not even be noticed (like the mislabelling of chapters) but the ones that really burned me are the incorrect achievements. While the count of 50 achievements is correct, some of them are just plain wrong. For example, in the game, there is no achievement for completing story mode under 2 hours. However, I was ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-19 Summary: My 7 Year Old Loved it and read it for weeks!!! ... My son had played the game many times before I bought him this book. He read it cover to cover several times and learned a lot of tricks and how to finish many of the levels he was stuck on. Great pictures. I loved looking it over as well! ...more

Getting Started with LEGO Trains
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2004-12-16 Summary: Mainstream LEGO train documentation ... Well written, lots of research, with the three model diagrams being the highlight of this book. Beginners will have to put the book down, get the bricks they need, then come back to build McKee's great designs. I would have ordered the designs a bit differntly, however, with easier designs first, leading up to the more complicated engine design. There's a lot of good reference here, and the author is quite thorough when following through on his assumed intentions to introduce LEGO trains into the mainstream. He's broken ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-02-05 Summary: Let's play with 9V Lego trains ! ... Great guide lot of history couple of buidling instructions (including double container wagon TTX) Easy to read Clear explanations and ideas ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2005-05-06 Summary: Quality book--Quality designs! ... What a wonderful book for LEGO Train lovers... this is a REALLY solid book containing detailed yet easy-to-use plans for making all types of trains... the production quality of the book is excellent--with high quality renderings, photos, and well written supporting text. Excellent work--and a must-read for those who aspire to do such quality design work (both 3D and actual LEGO bricks). ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-01-03 Summary: Recommended for real Lego Train fans ... This book delivers pretty much what you would expect. The first part covers some general background on the Lego 9V train system (if you are looking for info on the newer RC stuff, this book is not for you). The second part gives detailed building instructions for some cars and an engine. The last chapter gives some track layout ideas. The book is written in a very to-the-point style and very well illustrated. The projects suggested are very nice, though it might be hard finding some of the parts Jake suggests using. ...more

Maximum Lego NXT: Building Robots with Java Brains
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-17 Summary: Maximum Lego NXT: Building Robots with Java Brains ... If you are one of those Java guys, hands on, and a mechanical control lover, this is a book you don't want to miss. From programming point of view, some very useful topics are Bluetooth setup (both Window and Linux), Serial Communication setup, Vision detection, and Voice Control. You will be amazed of how you can realize those technologies into controlling an NXT. There are still many other interesting subjects from machanical/control point of view. This includes using GPS receiver(where you can learn NMEA Data format). ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-14 Summary: Java Brains - Its a good read for the NXT geek ... I bought this book specifically to get some information on the NXT and some building ideas. The book has easily met my expectations in these areas. There are some great ideas for building robots and a bunch of good info about building techniques and the effective use of sensors. I don't plan on programming in Java (I prefer C), however the ideas and code in the book are easily transferable to any programming language. There are detailed building instructions and excellent examples that I haven't found in any other ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-24 Summary: A Great Start ... Although the book sounds otherwise, it is in fact a good start for advanced programmers. A lot of the code does not work right out of the box, but provides a good starting point for advanced programmers to build on. If you are a beginning java programmer, this book probably is not for you because it deals with concepts that are incomplete as described in the book, but an intermediate-to-advanced programmer can take these concepts and modify them as need be and quickly make easy projects more advanced. Overall, I think ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-28 Summary: Excellent Book ... Despite the nasty reviews surrounding this book, I strongly dis-agree. I thought this book was extremely helpful. I am a java programmer but my work is in the data integration area. This book really helped me to step out of the box and start programming movement between motors,sensors,etc. I enjoy all of Brian's writings, blogs, books, etc. You won't find a better book about programming NXT bricks with Java. And who expects a 12 year old to pick up this book and understand? It's a book most suitable for experienced ...more
