www.amazon.co.uk/dp/184486118X/ref=pe_3421_19537551_snp_dpTheir is a new book called Lego house if anyone is interested. Product Description Take a truly technicolour tour of one of the most remarkable construction projects of 2009 in all its architectural glory. British broadcaster, writer and toy 'nut-case' James May lived a childhood dream by designing, building and sleeping in a quite stunning full-size house inspired by and completely made from LEGO, one of the world's most favourite toys and a design icon in its own right. James May's "Lego House" provides a complete photographic record of this stunning creation which now proudly holds the Guinness World Record for the largest free-standing LEGO structure. However, this is not a simple recreation of a childhood vision of a house but is fully informed by the 'simple complexity' of LEGO's design philosophy centring around the basic 'eighter' brick. Indeed, 3.3 million LEGO elements were used exclusively to create the two-storey house and its incredible fittings that range from a washing machine, furniture, cat and mouse, bed and bedding and fully functioning shower and toilet.

There are books scheduled for Airfix and Scalextric as well. I don't know why, but I have got this nagging feeling these are simply the chapters from the Toy Stories book being republished as seperate books. I hope I'm wrong though and I'll order them as soon as one of you girls tells me they are not. Edit: I can't seem to get the links to work, but both books are available for pre-order on Amazon UK.
