This book sets out to explore the brick's rich history in unparalleled detail and full color. Granted unprecedented access by the LEGO Group, author Daniel Konstanski reveals for the first time how and why new LEGO bricks are made, speaking to the people involved with each crucial step, from the so-called "rock stars," the set designers, through to the element designers, design masters, graphic designers, elements testers and approvers, plastics technicians, and many more. This book is the one 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 new visual material from the LEGO Archive in Billund.
