Lego is a toy for kids. Say that in a group of adults and you will probably see a lot of guilty faces. Many adults harbor a inexpressive love for this itsybitsy colored brick that has enchanted kids for decades. Many children who grew up loving Lego are now adults with kids of their own and a disposable income to finally fetch those large sets they coveted as a child. And I won't even talk about clubs who pay their employees to play with lego in the name of improving creativity and teamwork.
If you are one of these adult fans who looks for any excuse to buy bricks for any child within your family radius then there is now a book you can proudly place on your coffee table and say that your child left it there. As a matter of fact it is two books, two large hardcovers beautifully bound and stored inside a similarly tantalizing slipcase.

Dorling Kindersley, the publishing company who trademarked the white background photo, has a long history with Lego and their primary book released sometime last millennium was a sell-out success. Their recent modernize builds on that book and amps up the cool/drool factor to the max. The larger book, plainly titled "The Lego Book" looks at both the history of the company and the varied themes released over the years, while the other, "Standing Small", celebrates the humble minifigure.
The Lego Book looks first at the tantalizing history of this Danish export and then goes through the process of how a brick is made and packaged into a set. The middle section goes through the main themes Lego have released over the years, together with the Town/City, Pirate and Space themes as well as the varied licensed themes such as Batman, Harry Potter and Star Wars. This section also includes photos of popular sets throughout the years, and is a boon for fans. The final section takes a look at the larger Lego world together with theme parks, clubs and artistic creations.
Standing Small then gets up close and personal with minifigures throughout the Lego universe and although it is not exhaustive it covers alot of area. Apparently there have been 2500 variations on the minifigure made over the years and there are a total of 4 billion minifigs in existence around the world!
Priced at , this is a great book for you to buy for a Lego fan so you can share your love of Lego with someone who understands.
