I think this book is better than his Simple Machines and Power Functions (Vol 1) I think this book is better than his Simple Machines and Power Functions (Vol 1) books. Gets into some reasonably interesting (but still reasonably "simple") designs. As with Vol 1, you have to be rather visually/spatially oriented to reproduce his designs, since he just gives a few views of the designs--no stepwise building instructions. Second favorite of my 6 Lego-style books. Favorite is "The Unofficial Lego Technic Builder's Guide," which is essentially a detailed textbook on Lego Technic construction concepts.. Good source of ideas AMerlos Book has lot of good ideas. I think it has a pretty wide gamma of solutions. Recommended to have it handy when looking for some inspiration to build a lego machine.. Five Stars Gordon Great book, though at times it can be hard to determine which part to use based on the pictures
