The Brick Fan

Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

After seeing what the updated and expanded LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary includes, would I suggest you picking up this book even if you have the the original one from a few years ago? Definately! There are an additional 48 pages filled with facts about sets that have been released in the last couple of years plus you get all the awesome images that DK is known for. Simon Beecroft and Jason Fry, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at Philly Brick Fest, has done a fantastic job on the book and it keeps you immersed on the little details that we never think of when building the sets.

Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 205 reviews

As far as content, the book is great. The design of the book is not so great. The cover is very thick to accommodate the minifigure and is only attached with one page. It is very easily unglued, especially with a young user. Chances are, if the book is open and it slips off and on to the floor, it will probably come unglued. I also bought the similar Batman book and it is designed the same way, and did come unglued. Whoever produces the book should come up with a better way. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it and also my grandson is.

All About the Bricks

by Brick

I've been collecting LEGO Star Wars sets since the very beginning, but I have to admit, I learned a lot from this book. It is very well done, and it's packed with great images and information. And being a DK book, you know it's a quality book!
