Waterstones Says

Taking readers on a fascinating tour of LEGO's history, this handsomely produced volume contains copious archive material and behind-the-scenes imagery perfect for all fans of the iconic brick-building pastime.

Building the ordinary into the extraordinary – brick by brick.

This first official book for Adult Fans of LEGO® takes the reader on a visually stunning journey from the very earliest hollow bricks to the complex shapes and building techniques of today.

LEGO bricks are design icons and marvels of engineering. Virtually unchanged for over fifty years, the brick is still at the very centre of LEGO’s ethos: each brick connects to every other brick, allowing the construction of almost anything you can imagine. LEGO minifigures may be the friendly faces of the LEGO world, but bricks in all their different shapes and forms are its very foundation.

The Secret Life of LEGO® Bricks explores the brick’s rich history in full colour and unparalleled detail. Granted unprecedented access by the LEGO Group, Daniel Konstantski has interviewed design masters, element testers and the so-called ‘rock stars’, the set designers, to reveal for the first time how and why new LEGO bricks are made.

This is the book the fans have always wanted: a truly behind-the-scenes look at the story of the beloved LEGO brick and the company which makes it, with a wealth of exclusive visual material from the LEGO Archive in Billund.

“Everything is awesome!!”

This was a fascinating peek behind the doors of the Lego company, showing such an in-depth perusal through their archives with the various themes and collections over the years. Like many, I was brought up on those... More

“Fascinating”

This book is absolutely packed with detail, all presented in a totally engaging way. I was given a Lego pack in 1960. It was very simple; just a base and a few bricks and even with imagination, it was difficult to... More
