I highly recommend this book to all ages of LEGO builders.

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.

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

The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-01-06 Summary: Great book ... The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build I read this book and I really enjoyed it. This was the first Mindstorms book that I read and it was really easy to understand and got me off to a quick start. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars was that the graphics and text are printed on an off white background and it made it a little harder to read and the graphics themselves are all black and white and some of them were a little hard to figure out the robot designs because of it. But dont let ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-10-24 Summary: Wonderful Book That Needs Color!!!!! ... 'The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build' is an absolutely wonderful book with one MAJOR flaw in that the entire book is in black and white. Packed with 16 chapters written wonderfully with exciting examples and content, this would have been a easy 5 star recommendation but I simply cannot do that. Legos are bold, bright, and full of color, the decision to publish this in black and white was a terrible one. I understand this decision was made to no doubt save costs, but it shouldn't have been published ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-09 Summary: Very Informational! ... You would need this book if you own the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Kit. Can't get it work without it! ...more

Getting Started with LEGO Trains
Customer Reviews — [1] 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
[2] 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
[3] 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
