LEGO Micro Cities: Build Your Own Mini Metropolis!

This is a fantastic book! First, the designs and creations throghout the book are beautiful and full of details. The instructions are accurate and easy to follow. And finally, and most important to me personally, Jeff’s builds were just the kick in the pants I needed to start building with my own collection again. If you’re an adult fan of Lego, this book is worth owning for the aesthetics of his builds alone, but as I said, they’re also terrific pieces of inspiration. If you’re the parent of a lego fan, this book might well help extend that wonderfully creative time in your child’s life just a bit longer by giving them an example of the creations they can conjure up with more practice and time.

With all these Lego books out here, this happens to be one of the best ones. Lots of great ideas and it even gives you clear instructions on how to build them. Most of these other Lego books show pictures yet, no instructions. If you are looking for ideas to create things with Lego, this book is a must have.

Great photos & clear instructions for suggested Lego builds make this book well worth the cost. If you are a fan of Legos, this is a great book to have in your library.

This book is fantastic, with beautiful photos and amazing builds. What's a real hassle, though, is how poorly the parts lists are constructed. For each build, three primary structures have specific instructions. Each of those structures has a parts list at the beginning of the instructions, but the amounts are not always accurate. This by itself is frustrating, but what's really a hassle is that parts lists with amounts are not provided for the specific base or other structures featured in the builds. Some of the details are available at the end of the book, but compiling a comprehensive parts list for a build is not a simple task. I'm hoping to give this book as a gift, along with all that's needed for one of the builds. It would be so much easier if a full list and full instructions were provided for each build as they appear. Suggestions for variations are great, but surely I'm not alone in wanting to be able to build what I see in the picture, and unfortunately that is less straightforward than it seems.

I got this book for my husband as a Christmas present. The book is amazing! The paper is nice and thick, coffee table book quality. The images are beautiful and the descriptions of the cities, the lore of how each city grew, and how to personalize the original designs make this book a fun read for someone who doesn't use Legos on the regular (that would be me). The book even gives great advice on how to aquire the necessary pieces to make your microcities!

Build a city with Lego™ bricks. Read/peruse this wonderful book. If you like to build microtropolists, this will excite you. If you've never built one, this is likely to make you want to try. Extremely well done.

This book is very well done. The instructions are great. Really creative city to build. The one thing i wish it did better was a complete list of pieces needed. it does do list but for each building not the whole city.Great book for kids and adults.

Well composed with helpful instructions. Beautiful and inspirational creations for the reader. Great book!!

If you love LEGO - especially as an adult - and love micro buildings and micro city scenes, this book is for you. The buildings don't represent existing historical structures, but they are varied and beautiful. The author also gives examples of alternative versions of buildings using the same parts list. Very nicely written. Very beautiful photographs. Excellent assembly diagrams. I am so glad I purchased this. All in all a very beautiful book.

I saw a few micro cities moc's online and this books helps understanding variouse construction technics used. Highly recomended.

Ein sehr schönes Buch, ausgezeichnete Bilder, sehr detaillierte Anleitungen und gute Beschreibung. Mich wundert allerdings, dass das Buch "LEGO (R) Micro Cities" heißt, aber auf den Bildern deutlich der Legoschriftzug auf den Steinen fehlt, diese sind also nachgemacht, von Alternativanbietern. Das hat Lego genehmigt? Egal, trotzdem ein sehr schönes Buch, auch gebraucht in exzellentem Zustand

Si quieres regalar algo diferente a tu amigo friki de los Lego, esto puede ser una buena opción. Se trata de uno de los libros que tiene Jeff Friesen (@jeff_works en IG) sobre como hacer micro ciudades con piezas de lego, verdaderas obras de arte en miniatura para que construyas en tu casa paso a paso, con instrucciones, ilustraciones e indicando el número y modelo de piezas que necesitas para cada una de ellas.

This book was beautiful, a great gift for all ages. The photos, however, were not as sharp and focused as I had hoped. Would be interesting to know if someone else feels the same way. My copy was a hard cover one, and the paper quality was very good, but the photos still left me with a slight feeling of boot leg product or print-on-demand.
