The most comprehensive guide to engineering plastic machines and mastering tricks of the trade. Its usefulness makes it a text you ll keep for years if you re a fan or hopeful. I couldn t imagine it being any more valuable a resource.

If you are a Technic fan or build with LEGO Technic elements (e.g. for use in MINDSTORMS), The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide, 2nd Edition should be at the top of your shortlist of must-have titles.
Hispabrick Magazine

"A totally amazing book, with really clear and easy to follow explanations of the engineering concepts . . . Definitely something that serious lego builders need to have on their bookshelves, or more likely on the table next to a pile of lego and a part built model."
James Kemp, Blogger, themself.org

Whatever your level of knowledge in engineering is, if you read this cover to cover you will almost certainly learn something new. . . . the best thing is you can keep coming back and even try out some of his build ideas with the included instruction sections.
Brick Fanatics

It's an absolutely indispensable wealth of mechanical information broken down into manageable and delicious bite-sized bits. It takes the staggeringly complex Technic system and makes it approachable and inviting.

The book will save you hours of puzzlement and pain, with its example building instructions and inspire you to play with solving harder technical challenges. You ll want to start experimenting (playing) and building your own creations: it s what LEGO is for.
The LEGO Car Blog

The illustrated instructions will create a child-like enthusiasm for building again as you easily grasp more complicated instructions and let your mind s imagination soar.

The text is easy to read, the graphics are clear and the binding allows the book to flat when you open it...the new and improved material makes it almost a whole new book.

Had I owned a book like this when I was a child there is no telling what elaborate models I would have built.
JK Brickworks

The full-color, durable pages make this a great book to keep around your home LEGO studio. . . . The author does an excellent job describing his designs and any potential pitfalls.

I would recommend this book for any adult builder who is interested in becoming more familiar with Technic and using Technic in their own creations. It is definitely an asset that deserves a place on the shelf.
