The Secret life of LEGO® bricks : the inside story of a design icon
(Book)

Includes index.

"LEGO® bricks are design icons and marvels of engineering. Virtually unchanged for over fifty years, the brick is still at the very centre of the LEGO 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 color and unparalleled detail. Granted unprecedented access by the LEGO Group, Daniel Konstanski has interviewed design masters, element testers and the so-called 'rock stars'--the set designers-- to reveals 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 Idea House and its team of historians in Billund, Denmark."-- Back cover.
