Where it came from
The LEGO Book was released in 2009 by DK Publishing to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick. Developed in close collaboration with the LEGO Group, the book was intended to serve as a comprehensive visual chronicle, documenting the company's evolution from a small Danish woodworking shop into a global toy phenomenon. It provides an extensive overview of the history of the company, the development of the iconic plastic brick, and the expansion into various themes and media franchises that defined the brand's identity over five decades.
The design of the volume focuses on archival photography and high-quality product shots, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of DK's established reference style. It includes a dedicated timeline and a focus on significant milestones, such as the patenting of the modern brick design in 1958. Upon its release, the book was well-received by fans and historians alike for its accessible narrative and its inclusion of a unique commemorative brick, serving as a primary reference text for the LEGO collecting community at the time.
