LEGO is more than just a toy, as evidenced by the release of The Cult of LEGO – a twelve-chapter, hardcover book that explores the building and creating phenomenon. This coffee-table reader features dedicated LEGO enthusiasts like Nathan Sawaya and David Pagano, as well as awe-inspiring builds like replicas of Yankee Stadium and a World War II battleship. Written by John Baichtal and Joe Meno, both self-professed tinkerers, this effort looks to be made and written with heart. Pick one up from November 2011 for $39.95 USD.
