This book is a great breakdown of the framework for building your own creations. May big gripe, having owned both the paper and the eBook is the Brickopedia. As awesome as the Brickopedia is, a parts Build oriented category system, as an eBook format it fails totally as a Google Book. The images of the bricks described are so small they are useless. A bit of reformatting and this book would be a soils purchase. If you buy another format or download as epub and open in 3rd party software it is fine.
