Chapter 12: Serious LEGO View the detailed Table of Contents (PDF). View the detailed Index (PDF).Reviews"This fascinating look at the world of devoted LEGO fans deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone who's ever played with LEGO bricks." —Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief, Wired "As much a geek treat of the finest kind as it is a fascinating piece of subcultural anthropology. An essential staple for your favorite nerd's coffee table." —Maria Popova, The Atlantic (Read More) "When, in their exhaustive and rapturous survey of the multicolored building blocks, The Cult of LEGO, [Baichtal and Meno] present the original patent application drawing for what was then, in 1958, called a "toy plastic brick", the effect is that of viewing the tablets that held the Ten Commandments, or perhaps the Sistine Chapel artwork. The receptive reader is in the presence of the divine genesis." "Having grown up with LEGO over the last several decades, a veritable nation of zealous LEGOphiles has spawned.
Authors John Baichtal and Joe Meno document this thriving subculture in their new book, The Cult of LEGO, a beautiful, coffee-table tome rich with examples of LEGO’s appeal and limitless versatility. "If we're talking about inspiring the next generation of engineers, flipping through this book would be one way to do it." "I defy you to read and admire this book and not want to doodle with some bricks by the time you're done." —Gareth Branwyn, online editor-in-chief, MAKE Magazine "The Cult of LEGO ... is well worth its weight in words. If you are interested in the Lego subculture—and there are good reasons, I think, why everyone should be—John and Joe's book provides a concise, handy, visually-searchable index where (and this bit is key) there was none before." —Sean Ragan, MAKE Magazine (Read More) "A crazy fun read, from cover to cover, this book deserves a special spot on the bookshelf of any self-respecting nerd." —Jake McKee, former global community manager, the LEGO Group
"An excellent book and a must have for any LEGO enthusiast out there. The pictures are awesome!" —Ulrik Pilegaard, author of Forbidden LEGO "We're all members of the Cult of LEGO—the only membership requirement is clicking two pieces of plastic together and wanting to click more. Now we have a book that justifies our obsession." USA Today featured the book on their Pop Candy blog, calling it "an excellent new book." Featured in GeekSugar's "Ultimate Collection of Geeky Coffee-Table Books" (Read More) "Despite all the pretty photos, John & Joe manage to weave a thread of humanity throughout The Cult of LEGO, so that in reading it you can step into this tight-knit yet simultaneously open-armed world of builders and bloggers, brick artists and LEGO engineers." —The Brothers Brick (Read More) "There’s a point, when you have a collection of Lego that would stock a small store, that you feel like you’ve seen it all and heard it all, when it comes to the colorful brick.
Then along comes a book like The Cult of Lego that makes you stop in your tracks." "Imagine a history class in LEGO that leads students from the toys' invention in the Danish village of Billund back in 1958 through to the present day. The Cult of LEGO would be that class's textbook." "The Cult of LEGO is a beautiful and substantial work, exploring the breadth of communities that have been grown around LEGO." —Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories (Read More) "A marvelous new book... a great way to introduce your friends and family to the idea that LEGO bricks are more than just a toy." —The Brick Side (Read More) "I would certainly recommend this as a great read and a window into the world that is LEGO." —Model Building Secrets (Read More) "The Cult of LEGO is a testament to the massive creative potential that every tub of bricks holds. This book is a must for anyone who loves LEGO." "The Cult of LEGO will delight any fan of LEGOs, regardless of their age!"
