I wished Lego would do the free shipping deal to Australia :(

Thanks for the review Freddie; now I might just get two instead.

Ben, I never knew that book existed. Do you have more information on it? It seems like an old book and a new copy would be very expensive.

This book is a nice celebration of another LEGO anniversary. It includes many reproduced flyers for collectors. Unfortunately the book ends without a good conclusion and seems like it was rushed to completion.

A much better book about LEGO is “50 Years of Play” which can be bought used for roughly the same amount of money:

It is, Nannan. It is.

I bought mine some time ago, and you can find my review of it here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18955&hl=

As stated in the review, I think it’s a decent purchase, with a fair bit of history in it. It’s hardly something you’ll read in bed, because there’s not much text and ample amounts of pictures and accessories.

I’m debating whether to get this. It’ll be a good collector’s item.
