My wife and I are both big fans of Legos, and I bought these books for her, in the hopes of seeing the typically nice job DK does of displaying something's visual history.
Both of these books devote a very small amount of pages to Lego's history, showing woefully few photographs of older Lego sets, Lego sculptures, and related items. The majority of the books is devoted to multiple page spreads of JUST the products which Lego has currently on the market. The photographs of these products are not even very interesting, and could have been lifted directly from Lego's own marketing material, for all I know.
Its a dull work which almost reads like a product brochure, rather than what it purports to be, a tribute to a very fun toy with a long and interesting history.
When my wife looked at the book, she politely asked me to return it, which I did.
VERY DISAPPOINTED
 If you love lego then you will love these 2 books May 26, 2010

I have really enjoyed these books. It is a two book set and one book is all about the mini figures and how they have evolved over there years. See how your favorite little guys have changed over the years. The pictures are big and crisp so you see lots of detail.
The other book is all about the history of lego. See how it has evolved. Also it offers great pictures and lots interesting nuggets of information
Great Buy! A must for the avid Lego collector! May 24, 2010

Great info, incredible pics. While not exhaustive or completely comprehensive, the two books combined give a great history of the Lego toy and minifigure.

My daughter, age 11 collects mini figures and has been able to identify all her "trades" and vintage finds with this book. She has really enjoyed this book!
