1. If you have any love of the English language, and are able to tell good photographs from bad ones, you will truly dislike all of the books by this woman that I have read, including Barbie Exclusives volumes 1, 2 and 3. The text is virtually unreadable, almost completely devoid of any real information, and is generally a painful experience. The photographs are almost equally bad, ranging from grainy yellowish shots, to lovely ones in which box-front glare almost obliterates any details of the doll inside. Truly, you can do much better than this series! Try the Collector's Encyclopedia of Barbie Doll Exclusives and More by J. Michael Augustyniak.

1. I just got this book and it's great! It's loaded with adorable full-color photos and packed with loads of information about Raggedy Ann & Andy! Great for collectors! The reader is aware of the author's love for Raggedy Ann & Raggedy Andy through the fun-loving tone and the overall appreciation for the dolls.

1. One thing that has always added strength to the LEGO system is its near perfect backward compatibility. 'The World of LEGO Toys' carries some of this compatibility in that it is clearly written at a certain point of time (late 1980's) and yet much of the information is relevant today. It's a concise and colorful look at the company, its products and their affect of kids of all ages. It looks at the early days of integrating computers and LEGO bricks; offering a nice background for today's much more advance Mindstorms models. The book even touches on the subject of adults building with LEGO which is something that wouldn't really come of age for another decade, when the internet brought together older fans from around the world.

   While the book is sometimes a bit too focused on the educational aspects of the LEGO system it is none-the-less a well-written and obviously well-researched work. It stands up today despite the many advances of the products and the little company that makes them. The full color pictures are a delight to look at and represent LEGO bricks in a wide variety of models. There are also a number of 'behind the scenes' photos that give you some sense of how LEGO products are made. I would highly recommend this text to anyone interested in the history of LEGO and how it has brought the system to where it is today.




2. I checked this book out from the library for my son who is 5 and LOVES Lego's. Even though the reading content is for older children or adults he loves looking at the pictures, which there are many of, including photo's of the Lego factory! The book also gives the history of the Lego company. Even though it is out of print I am going to have Amazon do an extended search for it as I am sure my son will get years of use from this book.



3. I checked this book out from my public library. It is one of the best written books I've ever read



4. I purchased this book a few years back mainly for the great illustrations of LEGO creations. But recently, I was taking a speech class and decided to do a speech on LEGO history, (because I like to be the odd-ball) and this book came in really handy. In fact, I didn't need any other sources of LEGO information other than what was contained in this book. The book takes the reader back to the very early days of the LEGO company, back when it produced wooden toys and follows the company into the late 80's. The book also discusses, in great detail, the Lego company's philosophy all of which I found very interesting. If you're into LEGO nostalgia, and want to see some great pictures of LEGO's and the Legoland Theme Park, I highly recommend this book.
