Recommendation: yes 4.5 / 5 by Sébastien

I wouldn't recommend this for the younger LEGO fan, or indeed anyone not interested in TECHNIC or general engineering concepts. But this is an extremely comprehensive book full of detailed explanations covering enough to allow the average builder to go away and incorporate useful and advanced techniques in their own MOCs.

The book will save you hours of puzzlement and pain, with its example building instructions and inspire you to play with solving harder technical challenges. You'll want to start experimenting (playing) and building your own creations: it's what Lego is for. To quote Sariel's Afterword, “…the only limit to what you can build is your own imagination." and this book is a great way to fuel it.

If you are a Technic fan or build with LEGO Technic elements (e.g. for use in MINDSTORMS), The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide, 2nd edition should be at the top of your shortlist of must-have titles.
