Cast your memories back to 2020, when LEGO Ideas partnered with the publisher Unbound to fund a new and unique LEGO book that fans got to vote for. Well that book will soon be on general release for those that missed out!
The book, The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks, was originally released in November 2022. with a very unique version that was rather pricey, but don’t fret if you missed out, the book will be available again later this year for around £30. Although the book will feature the exact same content as the crowdfunded one from 2020, it will vary in design and size.

Official details:
Building the ordinary into the extraordinary brick by brick.
This first official book for Adult Fans of LEGO takes the reader on a visually stunning journey from the very earliest hollow bricks to the complex shapes and building techniques of today.
LEGO bricks are design icons and marvels of engineering. Virtually unchanged for over fifty years, the brick is still at the very centre of LEGO’s ethos: each brick connects to every other brick, allowing the construction of almost anything you can imagine. LEGO minifigures may be the friendly faces of the LEGO world, but bricks in all their different shapes and forms are its very foundation.
The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks explores the brick’s rich history in full colour and unparalleled detail. Granted unprecedented access by the LEGO Group, Daniel Konstantski has interviewed design masters, element testers and the so-called ‘rock stars’, the set designers, to reveal for the first time how and why new LEGO bricks are made.
This is the book the 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 exclusive visual material from the LEGO Archive in Billund.
