The LEGO Neighborhood Book: Build a LEGO Town!

Parts lists do not have part numbers nor text descriptions, so you're left to count pegs and guess colors on the often muddy pictures of the parts. Parts lists downloaded from the publisher's website are the same. That's a shame, because many of the designs look fun to build. But unless you already own an extensive collection of Legos, and have it well-organized, ordering the bricks for these models is really tedious. more less

The LEGO Neighborhood Book is a very good resource especially if you're new to building modulars. Even if you're already familiar with the modular building, you can probably learn something new that you didn't know before. more less

This book is easily one of my favorite LEGO books. If you are a town fan, I can't recommend it highly enough. While I build out my LEGO town, the LEGO Neighborhood book will be at my side providing inspiration the entire time. more less

This is another great book from No Starch Press. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interesting in designing their own ‘modulars', especially builders like myself who have never built any of Lego's sets. more less

Overall, there's probably little here that will be new to a veteran builder, but to the novice or intermediate builder, I can easily see this book becoming an invaluable resource. It's a very nice book, and would make a great gift for someone who's just beginning to get back into the LEGO hobby. more less
